[Elecraft] RE: KX1 C45 or C56?

On my KX1 build, I clearly distinguished C56 as the smaller blue one.  It
also fit MUCH better in its intended location over the pins of K1. So, I put
the larger orange cap in the upper right portion of the board (as C45) and
the smaller blue cap between pins 2 and 3 of K1 (as C56).  It works
perfectly.

Well, two people thought C45 was the one on the right, and two thought 
it was the one on the left. No one from Elecraft wrote, so I'm still 
waffling.

One person made what seemed to be a good argument for the blue one to 
be C45, but then another person said that Wayne himself told him that 
the blue one was C56.

Due to time constraints keeping me from my construction, I haven't had 
to flip a coin yet. Does anyone else care to throw in their vote? Is 
there any electrical difference between two caps with the same value? 
Will my KX1 care?

Thanks again,
