You bring up some good questions.
I do know that the coil will work with either wire on either terminal on 
either ground. But, I don't know for how long.
I have mixed them up more then once, when it's wrong, the coil get very 
hot in a short period of time. Maybe it does have something to due with 
  upsetting some universal law written in stone?
To be honest, I don't know.
To ease the confusion on SW and CB, those letters stand for SWitch and 
Contact Breaker (aka points) and in your reversed polarity case, Sw is 
now points, and CB is now the switch. It is a good idea to try and find 
a later coil, they are marked + and -. It just makes it easier in the 
future when you forget that your old SW is now you CB and the CB should 
go to SW and what ever happened to SB and CW?
