Anubias Nana Petite or another variety?

Back in July I bought 2 Anubias Nana Petite plants from my lfs. I'm wondering if one was mislabeled and is actually a smaller variety. The larger plant meets the description of Nana Petite, leaves are the size of a fingernail. The first anubias is larger than it looks. Its growing around the other side of the driftwood. But the smaller plant is the size of a thumbnail. Both are growing without any issues. I'm just curious about the smaller Anubias.

The plants look like they have yellow spots but it was just the light reflecting.

The second picture is the very tiny Anubias.

They both look like Anubias, but I think Anubia leaves, no matter how young, are supposed to be at least 1-2 inches. I know that sometimes they tend to sprout tiny leaves the size of your fingernails to start the whole process of growing leaves off again, since their leaves grow out from the stem of another leaf, but I don't think there is supposed to be more than a couple of those kinds of leaves. Maybe there's an even smaller kind?

I did find some information on the internet this morning about a smaller variety called Anubias Nana "Micro". There seems to be a lot of debate if it's an actual variety or not. Maybe it will start putting out larger leaves eventually. The anubias in the top picture is happily wrapping itself around the other side of the driftwood.

I think the first one may be Anubias Nana Or Nana Gold, the second Anubias Pangolino. Here’s mine for you to have a better reference.

I literally never knew there was a smaller variety of anubias than anubias nana. That's so cool. I think the plant might be that then.

My local fish store sometimes has Anubias Nana Gold but it's usually never potted. I've never bought any because it costs twice as much as the more common anubais plants they have. I'm not sure if it's Anubias Pagolino. The leaves look longer than the leaves on my tiny little plant.
