Inductor addition and the MC1

While working on this board, something about the MC1 occurred to me. If it
is just three inductors in a triangle, doesn't that make it the same as a
single inductor with a value that can be calculated, or is there going to be
some other property because of the arrangement ?

If I remember correctly, inductors add with the opposite rule of resistors,
so the value of 2 inductors in series is 1/Lt = 1/L1 + 1/L2
and 2 inductors in parallel simply add together.

If this is the case, can't we just measure the inductance of an MC1 and use
an appropriate inductor (or combination if there isn't one available with
the proper value) ?
