Caliper Pins - Need HELP!

Caliper Pins - Need HELP!
Hey everyone, been a LONG time since I've been on the forums, but I'm doing the front brakes on my 2003 CL Type-S 6 speed and I have run into a snag.
After pulling the caliper apart to replace the rubber bushings and lube the caliper pins, I've realized that the pins are different. I have no idea which one is which and the Acura dealership, parts stores, and online diagrams have been no help!
One of the pins is a brass color with several "flat" spots, almost as if the bolt is a hexagon shape, but it's a very subtle difference. The other pin is a grayish color and appears to be completely round. Other than that difference, the pins are the exact same length and very alike.
Does anyone know which pin is which? I have to pull apart the driver side since I already put it back together without realizing my mistake. Here is a picture of the two pins... The brass colored one is the one with flat ridge like things on it.

MODS: You can close this thread, however... The way I found out which is which is by remembering that I slightly stripped the lower caliper pin head when I took it out. For anyone who may have this same question, the BRASS pin is the lower pin.
Thanks guys, and sorry for the false alarm.

Maybe someone in the future will find this thread and have themselves an answer. Oh well.

#13 and 18 on the link below have two different part #'s; however, like you stated, the diagram does not clearly differentiate.
