Look on the bottom of the antenna 180 degrees from where the clock mark is, and one antenna will be marked AM/FM & the other one will be marked CB.
To keep from mixing up the antennas when installing them I took some of my wife's red fingernail polish and put a red dot on the CB antenna at the bottom.
I always remember red is right side.
Hope this helps. Have a great holiday season.

The red dot is a good idea, might do that myself. Except I'll put the red on left side of the bike.

Why not remove one and see which component doesn't work anymore?
