Default Re: sword vs water sucker - pictures

It seems like I am the only one that can't distinguish between the two suckers, so if someone can tell me where to look for the main differences I would be grateful.
Here are photos of each, they were planted side by side on the same day.
I measured the circumference at the height of 30 inches (C@30)
One has a diameter of 9.09 inches and the other 9.11 inches.
They are both from the same mother and appear to have the same P-stem height.

What is the easiest way to see the difference?

After measuring the circumference I noticed that they had both sent up their flags during Tropical Storm Isaac.
One appears to be a few hours ahead of the other, maybe a sibling rivalry.
