My understanding is barbel up = lei, barbel down = jar. I have no real experience with either though.

Thats correct. Lei have silvery colour while jar has bronze colour. Jar has patterns on gill plates, leis dont. Leis have red dots in the middle of their scales, while jars have red cresents outlining their scales, except its too young to see this. Most prominent point right now is the silvery colour and the barbells pointing up.
