what kinds of puffers?

We recently had these fish dropped off at our pet store. They are simply adorable. Each fish is about 4 inches long (not including tail) and we were told they are 3 years old.
Does anyone know what kind of puffers these are? They don't look like the small figure eights I've seen before, but they also don't look like the pictures of the green spotted puffers I've seen either.
Thanks!

They look like Ceylons, almost same care as GSP, 40 gallons each.

I'm not sure about Ceylon. Don't Ceylons have bigger patches on their backs?

They look so different from each other. Is one of them showing hunting colors?
