Emmys have noses that look like this

and it's not so exaggerated on the GTP's. Also emmys almost always have bright white crossbar markings and GTP's have markings that aren't so bold and usually have yellow or blue coloration. To me, emmys are a forest green and GTP's are a mint to lime green.

They're basically not known for being sweet. I've seen handleable ones but they're still pretty touchy and it's just not a guarantee. I found a tame CB pair of GTP's at a show but the guy wouldn't take my car in trade.

My emmy nose didn't come out right. You'll see it if you look at pics though.
