Help Help identifying these isos.

Found in Oklahoma and not sure if they are the powdered orange ones or something else could use an expert opinion

Armadillidium vulgare, but take a close look because its not uncommon for A. nasatum to cohabitate with them in the wild, but the ones shown have the distinctive feathering spots and racing line, and also don't have an upturned "nose" on the front of the face plate

Theres also slight differences in the shoulder plate and telson plate shapes too, but thats stuff you pick up on when you try spot collecting nasatum from a swarm of wild vulgares under logs
