I guarantee the Consigliere listed as JL was Joe Ligambi.
No way they would have someone 90 miles away in North Jersey who came up in The Ironbound (Downneck) of Newark who is in his 80s as the Consigliere.
Uncle Joe is absolutely revered in South Philly, everyone loves him.

Licata's mentor Tony Caponigro was consigliere and he was almost 70 and lived Down Neck. Licata's former captain Patty Specs Martirano was underboss as an old timer in Newark, too.
DiLeonardo, Cafaro, and D'Arco all said one of the consigliere's main roles is acting as a liaison to other families, so someone in Newark would be good for that role.
I have no dog in the race as far as who the real "JL" is, but it's possible for sure.
