Ill try to get some better pics of the head and the markings when i get a chance.
 
Did u get them at an lfs? Where about in aus are you? I've never seen orinos in aus before and if they do turn out to be orinos, I want some lol, we need b00st to chime in and confirm this one..
 
Heres a couple shots to compare to, these are 100% wild Orino, hope it helps. These guys are 5.5" - 6" or so.

From a close look the pattern seems to be orino but the colouration seems like mono to me. As for the spangling around the spots/bars monos can sometimes show this characteristic too. This is one of my 7" monos and you should be able to see a spargled spot on the 2nd and 3rd bar.
