If I may ask, what is giving you two the NW vibe (legitimate question as NW terrestrials are my Achilles heel)? I saw the coloration and the elongated abdomen, along with the description of "mystery pet shop T" (which is a good lean towards a species that is mass imported) and immediatly went to Hysterocrates ssp.
Same, despite looking slim like many OW, the satae are long and very NW like as is the general thickness of legs. There is also the knee markings where the hair does not appear as dense which is also more typical of NW rather than OW which are usually more consistent all round.
Just my observations and opinion, I may be wrong.
Edit. The pic is not very clear though and a better pic would help

This doesn’t look new world to me. I’d have to agree that this looks very much like a Hystocrates sp. Can you get a better picture of the abdomen? Specifically the spot where there would be urticating setae? At least then we can narrow down to NW or OW
