Looks like another jobiensis to me also, Bob. New Guinea is a big place (around 860,000 sq km last I looked), and jobiensis-like animals occur pretty much throughout the island below about 6,000'. The higher mountain ranges do a good job of dividing up lowland forests both along the coast and in interior basins, and it would be unusual if there was not a fair bit of regional variation in the wide-ranging monitor species.
Nice animal, though.
