There may be some separately named alleles of this complex that are really just different lines of the same allele. Butter and lesser as one case. Probably phantom and mystic are another. Outside of those two pairs it sounds like the remainder have distinct looks that show up in predictable ways being consistent with each being a truly different mutations of the same gene. All the alleles I can think of right now are:

Lesser/Butter
Mojave
Phantom/Mystic
Mocha
Vin Russo
Special
Hidden

I think there are some other unnamed lines that might be distinct or the same as one of those.

Also, some of the combos aren't white like:

Mystic Potion (MysticMojave)
Platy (LesserHidden)
Crystal (MojaveSpecial)
Homozygous (aka "super" Mystic or Phantom)
Homozygous Hidden (apparently looks as normal as the het Hidden combined with the normal version of this complex).
