In my case the rear terminal is (-), but goes to the starter, the front terminal is (+) and goes to the ground strap (kind of copper mesh flat wire). I have no clue why the previous owner did it this way instead of turning the battery 180 degrees and use shorter wires, but it's definitively a positive ground.
