I mean I think you are right in your identification and thank you for your help IDing my fish. I am currently trying to find a mate for both of these fish. Are the Monarch yellow jacket varieties harder to come by than the La Ceiba varieties?

I think most cichlids are easy with the vendors being able to ship and you having the money to spend.
My Answer to your question:
As of today, imo, Monarch yellow Jackets are less available than La Ceibas.
My 2 cents: If Monarch were never available, I'd never want a Freddy.
Just out of honest curiosity, what makes you favor one strain over the other?
Easy. Monarchs are rich in colors and La Ceibas are washed out compared to them.
Using Sharptoothbass's posted pics that he did not label.. Here we have a Monarch and a La Ceiba. See the diference?

I see what you're saying. I've heard La Ceibas referred to as yellow head Freddy's. Perhaps they received that nick name because that's the only place they exhibit the coloration.
