Default Can you ID ABS Bearing by its Color?

I have an 08 Ultra with ABS and wire wheels. I just purchase as set of standard mag wheels that were taken off an 08 Ultra. I noticed that both sets of wheels have a black bearing with a HD part number (all the same) and a tan colored bearing on the other side. Can I assume that the TAN bearing is the ABS sensor on the new wheel?

The abs bearing on a set of wheels I had bought were a kinda green/grey color. The abs bearing also was set into the wheel a little further than the non abs bearing side. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses. I mounted the new wheels and rode it yesterday. The ABS lights worked as designed. I got lucky in my wheel purchase as they came off a bike equipped with ABS.
