LP or AG? AG, right?

Got this lovely T from Jamie about 18 months ago, and paid for an LP. I thought it looked odd for an LP, but being new to them didn't care much. Now that some time has gone by it seems very clearly to be an A geniculata, right?
Just to add, I am not upset this isn't what I bought, as the LP was $4 bucks at the time and the A geniculata was about 6 times that much. Just didn't expect it. I thought the colors would change as the T matured, but there you go.
 
LPs are like a dull brown until they're about 3", at which point they finally start turning charcoal and getting colored setae.
 
Looks like A. geniculata to me. A. brocklehursti if thinner leg-bands and the abdominal hairs are more "uncombed", not as "trimmed" as with A. geniculata. Also, A. geniculata has a very deep, dark reddish tone later on to the carapace.
