Yes, he should have, however:
It's not odd to have both whistles go at the same time, and the L not realizing there was a T whistle due to sound alone. If the T had now lowered his open hand signal, to walk to the L, the L could still be in the dark as to another call.

Which he did.

It might be a good idea for the T to stick with the play and should still see this after-travel contact. S/he should then confirm with the L that the contact he is calling is the same after-travel contact the T observed. This mechanic prevents cases where the T missed contact that the L saw. Granted, this is not needed in all cases, however.
I have seen calls botched because the T assumed contact that the L called to be same contact that he saw.
