LibraryAre 0603 LEDs reversed from other sizes

I just tried to place an 0603 red LED from the easyeda pro common library, and I was surprised to see that their footprints seem to be reversed from the others.  You can see that in the schematic both LEDs appear to be in the same direction, but in the PCB they look to be opposite. 

In 0402 and 0805 LEDs, pin 1 is the marked side, and pin 2 is the flat side; but in 0603 only green has this orientation, while red & blue are reversed.  Am I missing something here?  Or is this a bug, and if I want to use an 0603 I should always place as green and assume the other colors are currently broken?

update

I double checked against a project I previously built with easyeda std and some LEDs from my collection. My LEDs, the 0805s from std and the 0603 from pro all seem consistent, with the pointed part of the footprint's silkscreen and the green in the component or 3d model pointing to the cathode. The 0805s on easyeda pro are reversed, with the pointed end of the silkscreen & green dot on the 3d model pointing to the anode.

So it appears that the easyeda pro 0805 LEDs in the commons library are reversed.  For now, I guess I'll work around it by placing an LCSC part instead of the common one.  Part C9900012722 seems to have a good footprint & model.
