B.Auratum or B.Hamorii?

Thank you for your comment! That was my thinking here is the back story on it...

I bought this T and another at the Bristol invert show last year and has just had its second molt along with the other T I bought along side it.

They were both sold to me as B.Hamorii as I had a juvi female already I was hoping for a male so bought 2 to increase my chances.

Like I said both have molted within 1 day of each other and they look very different. One is a mini version of my juvi B.Hamorii and the other looks to me like the B.Auratum would someone be able to confirm this is the case?

They looked pretty much the same before this molt so can see why the dealer would have been confused however I always thought when looking at them together something was a bit off!
 
Are Auratums more rare/expensive than Hamorii then? I thought they are about the same, if anything I'd say unlucky it has hindered my chances at a breeding program lol
usually they are, in europe they are about as common as B. smithi (ex. annitha),
B. hamorii is much more common and cheaper
