If your dorsal finlet count is correct then it definitely rules out Polypterus senegalus (which has 8 - 10 dorsal finlets). Polypterus bichir bichir, Polypterus bichir lapradei, and Polypterus endlicheri congicus can all have 15 dorsal finlets (P. bichir bichir can have as many as 18). I suppose an exceptionally pale P. bichir lapradei could be mistaken for an albino, though the black eyes rule that out (all albinos have reddish eyes). There is a 'platinum' variety of some species available that has a silvery-white body with black eyes but these are usually exceptionally expensive and hard to get.
Unfortunately, on the basis of your description it is essentially impossible to give you any better information without just guessing. I do understand that you don't have a digital camera available but if there is any way you could borrow one long enough to get a couple of good pictures it would certainly help in giving you a more definitive identification.
