Subject: dc hv capacitor question

I have good fortune to have a set of 10nf 10kvdc ceramic DC laser pulse
caps. They are blue, but all I know and can remember and can measure is that
they are 10nf each at 10kvdc. My question is which termial is more likely
"+" and which terminal is more likely "-"? The connectors are all the same
female bolts, but the "top" is all smooth, and seem to have been pressed
onto the "bottom". Is there some experiment or characteristic that I can use
to figure out the DC orientation?
