I went to get some green chromis for a tank I'm cycling and they had two of these mixed in. I went ahead and got them since they're different - I assume some other type of chromis?

I was kind of thinking the same thing lol! The other one has the same body shape but no bands.

Tough ID, lol... Amblyglyphidodon curacao perhaps? I'll keep looking for others, but that seems kind-of close for the coloring on the body, eyes, and stripes.

Yeah, I think you nailed it - all the pictures I've been looking at really look like that. The guy at my lfs told me it was a Chromis viridis just collected from a different location lol!

Yeah, that sounds like a fail to me, lol. If you don't have a clue, make something up, why not?
 
id say give it some time in your tank and see if the stripes come in.
