LEDs on my GCX???

So I need to replace some of the LED's in my GCX, and just want to make sure that I solder them in correctly. Does anyone know if the resistors in there are on the anode side or the cathode side of the LED? I can't seem to tell which one it is since the leads are snipped at the solder joints, and I don't see any notches or any other markings on them. I suppose I could just try it out to see, but figured I would ask here first to see if anyone knew off the top of their heads so I could save some time.

The current limiting resistor is on the Anode side of the LED. Also, the circuit board should be screened to show the orientation of the LED... flat side is the Cathode.
