Is that 5th valve dependent on another one of the valves?

Looks like it’s in the fourth-valve branch, which is the usual spot.

From what little info I could find, it seems that on the Gronitz 5V piston EEb, the 5th rotary valve appears to lower the pitch by a flat fifth. So ya, a dependent 5th??

The Horn Guys were selling a horn just like that a few years ago. It was a dependent 5th. I wonder if it was the same horn. Maybe contact them.
