Differential Cover Socket Size?

[GJarrett]

I scored a used 3.55 Torsen diffy to install on my car and the cover is not attached. I'll have to get some RTV sealant and bolt it on. The bolts are torx and the install notes I read stated "NOTE: The differential housing cover bolts are low profile external torx. Use an EPL16 socket to remove the bolts."

I've searched online and found EP16 sockets but not EPL16 sockets. Are they the same? If not, where do I find the correct socket so I can bolt this thing back together?

They are easy to source over this side of the pond :

Looking at the above, would it help if you searched ‘Torx Plus’ ?

I swapped mine out for flange headed stainless steel so I’m now on a standard hexagon socket.
