The names often get confusing as they change over time.
Originally there was the classic jungle which was included in one of the early ball python morph books but as far as I know has never proved genetic. I hatched one once and thought it might be due to egg stress.
When a somewhat similar animal came along it was named pastel jungle (I think jungle pastel is the same name just out of order). Pastel jungle did prove genetic but eventually "jungle" was dropped from the name. So pastel jungle (jungle pastel?) and pastel are the same thing. It's classic jungle that is different.
Opel was a name for the homozygous pastel (aka pastel jungle) that didn't really stick. Super pastel is the most common name for that animal now but I guess you could call it a super pastel jungle or even a super jungle pastel if you wanted to go back to the original name for pastel.
On a side note what we now call cinnamon was originally named cinnamon pastel with references to some similarities between the then unproven cinnamon and the already proven pastel jungle. After they where proven to be unrelated genes pastel was eventually dropped from cinnamon pastel name which then allowed jungle to be dropped from pastel jungle as it was the only remaining pastel at the time. Then came the enchi pastel which probably also isn't related and eventually just became enchi. Confused yet?
Here is the classic jungle I produced from a stressed egg.
