D.pentaloris is this really be a spermatheca or it’s a pair of accessory organ?
The lack of a flap (uterus externus) makes me lean towards male accessory organs. Especially if it's the same size as the other female specimen you posted.
 
But it's the same one in another pic that you said it's a female (Tr1 is an individual code) but this pic is just a previous molt before that one

So it's not the same size as the other one you posted, it's a smaller version of that one... Looking at it more closely now, I can see a flap there - it's just much less visible than it is on the larger molt. Are all the pics you posted from the same specimen?
 
It's a female, it's just that the spermathecae isn't fully developed. It still has some growing to do.
