Your 2 animals look like the generic line (trumbower) of hypo.They where first found in Texas by Craig Trumbower.
Almost all the hypos in the hobby are of this line its been around a long time.This is also the line that Meltzer used and Ballam.
So, we have the generic (Trumbower) line ,most common and almost all the hypo whitesided snakes (ghosts) are from this line also.And when you see the term salt and pepper its just a churched up generic hypo whiteside.

Then you have the Stillwater Hypo line ( John Ginter).You will also see them called golden hypos by some people but they are exactly the same.

I don't know anything about John Cheery's super hypo line? I don't know if its a locale specific different line then Trumbowers or if its just a line bred product of the generic line.

To my knowledge there is only 2 lines of hypo and they aren't compatible.
