Looks like a lei in that first pic which would also relate to the light colors. I don't think this fish is a plat. Just my opinion. Wait for others to chime in

Looks like a lei to me also the pattern doesn't look jardini on scales or fins to me , I'm pretty certain its not a true platinum either it looks like white tank treatment (hence the white surroundings in the pics)
Sorry to burst your bubble but I wouldn't pay more than £100 for that fish , once placed back into normal aquarium surroundings it'll darken down over time turning more like its natural colours

A jardini isn't as elongated like a lei which this fish is elongated like, a jar that size would usually have the extra fat behind its head, I believe that's what it is. The body shape just isn't a jar imo. Maybe it's the lighting that throws the fish off, but all plats have a certain shine to them, this one just doesn't have it imo.
