Looks like a Guinea Endli or a hybrid.
 
Where did you get it from?

Looks like a wild endli, regular nigerian. your older one with the high contras, looks just like a CB endli from asia.

I bet if you ask them, the newer one is from Rehobothaquatics.

I could be wrong. It could still be a CB one, just from a different country perhaps.

Not all CB endli look the same, I've learned from King-eL that different countries produce noticeably different endli, so they have their own strains.
 
So the darker larger one is WC and the smaller lighter one is CB and are endlicheri endlicheri, im kind of curious but what or how can you tell that their CB or WC.

It's hard to have any certainty without facts. Did you ask the person you got these from, where they were purchased from, or any info they have about them at all?

You can tell which ones are CB because of the crazy patterns they will have, and lighter color, sometimes the contrast is heightened as well.

The body shape changes as well, the CB's are typically stockier and the head more dramatically sloped rather than a gradual one in the WC's.
