No idea on group one, but the second looks like what I bought as L184 a couple years ago. The eventual concensus on these was they were actually L071. In time, I came to agree with that ID. They are still gorgeous fish. Compare to the L071 pics and decide for yourself as the spotted BN, as everyone has said before, are very difficult to ID.
