I've now had a closer look, the coil he pointed out was the LW coil.
Close examination shows it to be wave wound as one would expect for a LW coil.
The video also shows that it's connected to the correct switch contacts on the wave change switch, the orientation of the whole assembly however is opposite to what's shown in the service info, but....later on in the program he swaps out the coils etc and fits them in the same orientation as what's shown in the service info, eg LW coil on the left and side.
