LED Light fitting question.

I know very little about electrics so would welcome some help with fitting a LED ceiling light. I have attached the image of the fitting. The cable from the ceiling has 2 wires, blue and brown but as you can see the wires from the LED driver are both brown. I would have thought that they would be brown and blue and joined together with the corresponding colours from the ceiling cable in the block that I have circled. Any advice would be most welcome.

With the supply to that driver it does not matter which live wire goes where, neutral and line can be can be swapped in that unit.

The reason for having line and neutral not reverse is the fuse is only put in the line, so where no fuse or single pole switch involved then they can be swapped both line and neutral are considered as live.

The driver is double insulated but the fitting most definitely is not.

Image means earth, can't see any class II item having that sign.
