Since I've the advantage of touching the plants, I doubt that they're both the same species. The leaf of 'thorelii' is thinner like lowland neps eg viking's. The Smilesii gives me the feeling close to but slight thinner than something like ventrata or xIndah. Even though the smilesii is bigger(~1.5x wider leaf span) than 'thorelii', the leaf is narrower too. With my old eyes, I don't see any hair at the base of the leaf. I can use macro lens this weekend for closeups. Other than the center of the plants, any other locations that'll help to id?
