I believe it is the latter.  If you look at the number in the records you get the info on the bird.

I know female legs are normally bigger, is there any information on the silver bands indicating the sex of the bird or is up to bander to register what he/she thinks the sex is?

Nope

Why is the answer no?  Was Hurricane not banded as a male?  ???

Kinderchick:
