It looks like a Mesobuthus martensi, but it is really hard to tell from the pics.

It could be juvenile, they should get close to 3", assuming they are M. martensii
There are supposed to be two colour morphs of these guys- a pale one native to Vietnam and the darker one. Maybe this is the source of confusion?
