You can tell by looking for the end that has the two small nubs.

When the orifice tube is installed, that end will face closest to you.

A tool is made that hooks onto the two nubs which allows you
to pull up on the orifice tube to remove it.

That's what happens when you get old! I had to pull out my service manual to verify. Sure enough, my memory failed me again. Good thing I have a manual to pull my butt out of the fire...

I have always been lucky enough to use small needle nose pliers to pull those tubes out. As I stated before, there is a reason why we have manuals with photos. Good catch!
