[hpsdr] Penelope Toroids

I've got an unfinished Penelope board I'm trying to assemble.
I'm at the point where I am ready for the toroids, but have a question I
hope someone can answer.
According to the Bill Of Materials, L8 and L3 are Amidon T30-6 cores.
Since I have a pre-assembled Penelope, I can see those toroids are each
5 turns. (not sure how you'd know that otherwise by the way unless you
go through the calculations, have a board, or a photo to refer to)
The BOM doesn't list a supplier or part number for L5, so I'm trying to
decide if it is the same core as L3 and L8. The L5 core looks the same
on my pre-assembled board as L3 and L8 except it has 6 turns which seems
reasonable since it has a larger inductance value. Since there aren't
any numbers on the cores, I don't know if they're the same even through
they look identical.
Can anyone enlighten me so I can make sure I've got the right cores?
Thanks,
Alan
