You bring up some good points...
My thinking is that the two are different... They may look similar and in some cases the same but they my very well be incompatible... In other species that I have worked with like leopard geckos and boas, there are more than one strain of albino and the different strains are not compatible... They look the same but they are indeed different...

Here is the down side I see if the two are test bred to eachother... You will be creating double hets for traits that are very similar to eachother...If the double hets are then bred back to eachother, how will the seller and potential buyer know what is what being that they are so similar looking especially as hatchlings???

Just something to think about as it could cause a lot of confusion and mislabeling...
