Delegate (not Boneyard) - orientation of C2 and C16?

These are both 1u caps, of which I have dozens but they're all polarized. Other 1u's on this board (C5, C14, C17) indicate their polarity, but these don't.

Unlike the Boneyard edition, the instructions for the standard Delegate don't indicate these should be film. I've got some film ones on order from Tayda, but it will probably take a few days (at least) for them to arrive.

Does anyone know offhand the polarity for these? Or should I just wait for the non-polarized ones to arrive?
 
They're film or mlcc caps

I personally would just wait, electrolytics are left out of the audio path as much as possible generally

The + side for C2 would be the pad that has continuity with C1 and C16 the pad with continuity to R14

You can see the electrolytics in the schematic all have the same polarity so I'd follow that orientation if you decide to use electrolytics

For standard polarity circuits most of the time the + side would be towards the signal in side
