In case anyone is interested.

I finally had some MS226060-2 arrive from an AliExpress site that has the slowest delivery time I've seen, Site keeps saying my order is canceled due to shipping delays, then they issues a new consignment tracking number, no tracking info and then after a month or so, it suddenly appears at my doorstep via DHL.

Toroids 57.1x26.4x15.2mm

It's the last on on the list, click "View More" to expand the list (57.1x26.4x15.2mm)

These are the original meatier (smaller hole) Blue Toroids that I use, they will just fit 5 turns through a six Stack of Toroids for around 23uH, 4 turns will give 16uH.

You need 12 of these Toroid Rings to make two x 6 stack chokes at either 16uH or 23uH, the price shown is for a 3 pack.

And just to make me want to bash my head against the sharp edge of a desk

Replacing a temporary 40uH Toroid choke in one side of the "Test Inverter" with one of these 23uH chokes, which matches the existing 23uH choke in the other side, has completely eliminated the Buzz I could induce into the Toroid by fast stepping the DC input up or down. It still makes a slight Buzz as you fast step the Voltage up, but as soon AC regulation is reached, the buzz stops and the Toroid remains silent (ear against the Toroid)

Made a slight miscalculation in the Inductance, 4 turns 16uH, 5 turns 23uH.

There is a difference in the Toroids, these New units are marked as FM571060A, the old Toroids are MS226060-2. I cannot find any reference to FM571060A.

They both give exactly the same Inductance for the Number of turns and are the same size.

The newer units look to have a much softer curve. I have repeated the tests many times and every run is identical.

Yellow: Current 125A per volt.

Blue: Cap discharge voltage from 75V.

Original MS226060-2 Toroids:

The New Toroids:

Thoughts?

If you compress the time scale, the second image is virtually the same as the first, it's almost as though there is a small resistance in play? I rechecked the cable, both use the same cable, everything looks identical and the display for each as shown above is always exactly the same no matter how many times I swap them into the JIG.
