Usually the caps of such quality are marked with respect to the outer foil. There are some methods to find the outer foil and here you can read it how to check orientation: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=121813#post121813 and further, check the comments by jcarr.
I always pay attention to caps orientation when coupling and IME they usually sound best when outer foil is directed to the output. Both polarities will sound substantially different.

I have tested Oscilloscope on Mundorfs and others:
M- Cap Supreme Silver-oil All 14 pcs of different badge production All ware : opposite ( f- in name Mundorf on capacitor is the inner foil) Outer foil is where Mundorf start.
Those ware the same of All my Mundorfs 20 Pcs silver oil / silver Gold and Silver Gold Oil. Of different production periods from 2010 till 2014!
Duelund VSF and Duelund Cast 100v ware where the D- from Duelund starts the innermost foil. The last d letter from Duelund is the outermost foil.
Jantzen Audio Superior Z-Cap inner foil is as Duelund case. So innerfoi is on the side where J- from word Janzen starts.
Intertechnik Audyn True Copper Cap MKP 630VDC – this cap was the only one that was different story. 4 pcs ware the came case as Jantzen and Duelund. And 2 pcs ware the opposite direction. This was all folks. I hoop it will help you.

IF you can't discern any Audible replicable difference then .. Just Maybe.. it's Irrelevant ??- Status
