Hello dear Mike. I´m not an expert around these special facts around 5513 but I understand that the gold surround indexes with the gloss dial appeared around 1982 till year 1988...

... being last series of 1988 with serial numbers starting wiith "L" the last Submariners 5513 made, a reference which was replaced by the 14064 reference.
Your "L" series was among the last 5513 made.
Mine is a serial number 9.74x.xxx which was made around 1986/87. In 1987 Rolex changed its serial number sequence with a letter "R" before the number followed by "L" in 1988.
I have an special fondness for reference 5513.
Enjoy your so much! Cheers! Abel
