If the 2u section has dropped below 1u, then it would be hard to identify for sure, by this method. About the only possible hope would be that both sections had gone low together, so the 1u section still read lower than the 2u. It should be easy enough to work out which is the common though, because with the common open, both caps are effectively in series, so the cap meter lead combination that gives the lowest reading permed from any two out of the three pins, shows the common pin to be the one that was left open during that reading.

Many do, and if not, he could ohm out the windings to figure out which way to connect it.
