After reading the suggestions in the other posts, if you are able to determine which wire is which,
e.g. black is hot, red is neutral, you should then mark the last inch or so of the red wire with
white electrical tape or white paint. Do this at both ends. This is a common practice used to
avoid confusion for those that come along later or even you if you disconnect the wires in
the future and forget where they go, especially in the panel where you might remove
multiple wires at the same time.
