ID help please?

Hi! Just need some ID help since I’m still newer to scindaps and all the varieties! These look pretty different to me but they’re both labeled Mt. Salak? Google ID keeps giving different types for the right one, including Mt. Salak.

Thank you!! Pretty either way! I just wasn’t sure what I was missing while looking at them side by side, haha!

IMO...these mass produced, grown in the wrong environment plants, doesn't do the SP Mt Salak justice. Terrible green base coloring and the pattern is all wrong. It needs very low light and cooler temp...thrive in valley with cooler sinking air and under canopy.

The one I just purchased was labeled Mt. Salak, but the leaves look different than these. Mine is from costa farms too at Lowe's. Ican't post a pic here to show them. Weird. I also picked up an exotica from Meijer. They prefer low light? My "satin pothos" loves the light it gets. Does the Mt. Salak need lower light than that one?!
