Forte II midrange polarity??

Hello all. I recapped the crossovers and upgraded the tweeters on my Forte II's. I'm putting them back together right now but I'm second-guessing myself. The speakers originally had the positive terminal hooked up to what would be the LEFT side of the midrange diaphragm if you are looking at it from the front of the speaker. The problem is that mine don't have the yellow mark indicating positive and negative, they simply have a "B" written in silver pen on the LEFT side, which is where the positive terminal was hooked up before as stated.

Has anyone else run into this problem and do they know which side is actually positive and which is negative? I just want to make sure it's correct. I don't think I would be able to measure whether I have them wired right and if they're "in phase" but reversed polarity I doubt I would be able to hear that either, right?

Did you get your polarity issue solved? I rewired my ForteIIs after replacing the diaphrams and the crossovers. It took several tries to sort things out, but I do not remember just what I learned except to pay attention. The wiring attach points are clearly labeled, I just got sloppy.
