How to distinguish C7 and C8 in TREAD kit

I bought the TREAD kit from Tangent. In the package, there are two capacitors(C7,C8) I can not distinguish very clearly.

The description for C7, C8:
C7: 10 µF/35 V dipped tantalum capacitor
C8: 1 µF/35 V dipped tantalum capacitor

The mark on my two capacitors:
(CAP 1) 106
35K
+537
(CAP 2) 105
35K
+525

I think CAP 1 is the 10µF/35V one, the CAP 2 is 1 µF/35 V. Am I right?

Thanks for help in advance!

You're right, plus the bigger cap is actually bigger.

That marking "106" and "105" is the actual capacitance of the cap.
106 = 10 with 6 more zeroes (measured in pF) = 10,000,000pF = 10,000nF = 10uF
105 = 10 with 5 more zeroes (measured in pF) = 1,000,000pF = 1,000nF = 1uF
