In the USA Black is Live and White is Neutral, quite a lot of mains leads imported to the UK with moulded on 13 amp plugs have been found to have used USA standard cable.
And in Canada, plus those parts of Latin America and the Caribbean which generally follow American standards.
Certainly that was the case in Germany, I think Austria, and at least one of the Scandinavian countries in the past (Denmark? Sweden? - Can't recall off hand).
Could be, but it might have been black. I remember dealing with a lot of French equipment in the seventies, and on some of the cords it was very dark brown, but on others it really was black.
