Wrekin aerials should have a yellow cap on then somewhere behind the
element array.  It may be a cap over the cable connector or perhaps a
plastic guard over the reflector.  I don't know (can't remember) what
colour the Sutton one is though, sorry.  It's a quick and easy way of
IDing where you get your signal from.  But..... you'll get a signal
using either just not as good if it isn't properly matched.
