Hello,

it is definitely a Polypterus endlicheri endlicherii ... a Polypterus endlicheri congicus looks like this:

Congicus has well-defined saddle stripes and never those longitudinal markings as yours. Although your specimen is young (with external gills) both species are definitels recognizable.
