Hello Nigh an' Far

Any takers for this one here? Matteo? => Is Albareto an L4, L5, or
an LL4 or an LL5 chondrite? How "ultimate" is the classification that
Ursula B. Marvin mentions in MAPS 36-9, 2001, A123 - see below.
Does anyone have any reference(s) about who u l t i m a t e l y
classified it as an L5 chondrite?
