[Elecraft] Choke & RFC K2 PCB Markings?

I'm a bit confused as to the "markings" for 2-terminal
CHOKES, RFC's, and L's - used on the RF BOARD of the 
K2.

If you look at the pictorial of the device, printed on
the printed-circuit-card, of for example the RF BOARD
-
it depicts a 2-terminal inductor/resistor looking
devices,
with 3 or 4 bands and the last one being wider and
darker?

What is the WIDER band supposed to represent?  Is it
the TOLERANCE or the first color band?  Very confusing
-
when they tell you to install, say the "RFC1, 100 uH,
(BRN-BLK-BRN)"   The actual 2-terminal inductor, has 4
color bands, the last one is a "GOLD" band.  What is
the WIDE band on the device outline on PCB - supposed
to represent?

Thanks,
