QUESTION FOR SOLOMON :) OR ANY ONE WHO KNOWS

[snookn21]

What are some of the obvious physical differences between the OP's gar and the Croc pics that xander linked to? I'm still pretty inexperienced at IDing beyond the 7 main gar, so I am curious as to what I am missing, because those pictures look very similiar to me.
