There are two silver bands in this choke. I know silver is Mill Spec. So. Is this, orange, orange, red and silver or orange, orange, and red. Or just red orange orange? Nothing I found is too clear.
Thanks

If you can believe this site: https://www.electronicshub.org/inductor-color-code/
The double wide silver band is where you start reading from, making the color code orange, orange, red, silver, giving you 3.3mH at 10% tolerance.
