[Wien] Spin-orbit splitting

Dear WIEN users,
  I have a question about spin-orbit splitting.
  I recently read an article on Th and U. 
  The calculation was FPLMTO with spin orbit.
  But they plotted two types of PDOS for 
  5f states. First they plotted 5f_5/2 and 
  5f_7/2. Then they plotted spin up 5f 
  and spin down 5f. I always thought that 
  spin-up 5f dos is the same as 5f_5/2 and 
  spin-down is 5f_7/2. Can someone 
  explain what I am missing?
  Thanks
  J. Appleton
