once they hit 6-8 inches the color completely changes. The adipose fin is also exactly the same on marmoratus and given the deformaity on my big one, that is a common trait of crossbred fish.
Found something different at a LFS, but what is it?

Here is a photo of my baby Jau for comparison, the fish you posted pictures of isn't stocky enough or wide enough in the mouth to be one I don't think. Also as mentioned the spots are too large relative to a baby Jau and there aren't enough of them. The Jau in my pic is about 3-4" for reference. Also another good way to tell that it's not a Jau is its demeanor. Jau are mean as hell and brutal towards tankmates generally. Lastly to my knowledge there aren't any hybrids between Jau and anything else available at the moment because even pure Jau are hard to find.
I'm leaning towards Marble Pim x something...the something is the tough part. I'd buy it

These guys' gill plates were totally normal. From what I understood, the curled gill plate was due to poor water quality.
Nice.... I would soo buy that fish, curious to see how it would look as an adult. Maybe it's a tsn x pictus???
It almost looks like one of the African catfishes to me, but I'm no expert...
Nice fishes though, whatever they are!
Cheers!

That is an Achara Cat.. they are gorgeous. i had a little one, a bit bigger that that one. He was about 3-inches. Well I had to give it back to the store becuase my 12 inche Shovelnose though he was lunch! I had them separated until the achara was no longer bite size. but after releasing him and the TSN trying to swallow him, i realized he would NEVER catch up.
