A picture or two would be helpful as too much guesswork is going on. The two wire black and red sound more like a diode such as the AA series which is used in some biasing arrangments.
The bare leads of the OC81 are collector, (with a paint dot near it) then the middle base, and then emitter. You will need to familiarise yourself with these as you have already said you haven't a clue what they mean.
