Are there any features on the PCB to identify which supply wires are
meant to be positive "+" (RED) and negative "-" (BLACK) ?
Are there any features on the PCB to indicate which way around the LEDs
are meant to be fitted ?
Actually, can we just see a photograph of both sides of the PCB please
!?!?
Possibly the two LEDs were fitted the wrong way around, so someone
decided to swap the RED and BLACK supply wires over, rather than
desolder/rotate/resolder the LEDs. To me the Schottky diode is there
purely for reverse polarity protection, nothing more fancy. The 150R
resistor seems appropriate to set the current through each LED to around
30mA with a 12V supply. With a 6V supply the LEDs will be dimmer.
