A large BO chondrule (you can see its parallel crystals in photo 5 at 7:00) and its POP (I think) chondrules seem to be relatively intact, resisting homogenizing metamorphic processes, which have recrystallized much of its matrix. The metal is highly heterogeneous, so I would imagine that the groundmass itself was similar in metallic proportion to the majority of LL chondrites (i.e. leucocratic silicate matrix with sparse oxidized regions). Thus, the total metal content is rather moderate. My guess is L5, not L6.
