Neck vs bridge: which one is which?

I'm trying to install this set of Fender Original Jazz bass pickups, but I'm having a devil of a time figuring out which pickup is the neck and which one is the bridge. They appear to be absolutely identical, except for the red and blue dots (shown by green arrows), and the fact that the white and black leads are reversed (which is contradictory to the instructions shown), which, incidentally, happens to be the ONLY schematic that came with these. According to the packaging shown, they do have different electrical values, and unfortunately, I don't have my multimeter with me at the moment. Any ideas? 20200123_083601.jpg 20200123_084300.jpg
