Fitting toroids takes a lot more than just the physical dimensions.
There are many possibilities in core permeability and windings to make
each one unique.

What are the ratings needed for the inductances? Is this the RF low pass
filter or an audio low pass filter?

While often not reasonably priced, Surplus Sales of Nebraska, has many
Collins parts including for the KWM-380. I don't have any documents on
that radio so I can't dig for those details.
