Hi Jerry, What plating does your N weight have on it? Let me know if this is clear as it is hard to describe. If your N weight was modified later it should have the limit loop location moved or bent, and you will see the extra holes, on my L they cut off the old loop and drilled new holes, because they used the original loop that is now shorter they had to bend it so it is more narrow. The difference between the L and N weight is the location of the limit loop and the plating. The N is nickel and the L is oxidized. On the L the limit loop is almost at the end of the tab that the L is on. On the N reproducer the limit loop is about 1/16 of an inch from the end of the tab. I would suspect someone modified an N weight to fit your L. I have a large top that someone modified an L weight to fit on, if your weight has been modified you should be able to see the old and new holes filled with the limit loop. The L weight I have has four holes as the limit loop was moved. If your L came from the factory that way it should have the limit loop at the end with no holes for the N position. You should be able to see the old holes on the top, on the bottom you can sometimes see the post holes. On my round weight N you cannot see post holes on the bottom, on my two O weights you can see faint circles.
