The L shaped prong is ground. The color of the ground wire should be green or bare copper. If the wires are red, black, and white then the ground wire will be white.

The straight blade is a 50 A circuit.
The L shaped prong is a 30 A circuit.
It will work but you may want to change your breaker to give you some safety protection.
