And these two are supposed to be different or no? I did see in your photo gallery that you had some other pictures posted there too. I am trying to study them carefully.
Thanks for all the help!!!!

Don't forget the similarities/differences in heights besides the coloration. I don't know if you can rely on the coloration so much, though. The photo, most probably, was taken with a film camera, and depending on the brand of the film used, the color hues may favor one color versus another. The slant of the sun at the time that the photo was taken, can like wise be a factor. The best picture for comparison would be one where they are all in bright shade. That way sun angle and shadows have very little influence over the coloration.
CA Gold (Jeff's) and
CA Cold Hardy(Shawn's) are definitely not the same variety. Outside of their cold hardiness and fruitfulness in their region, they have dissimilar characteristics. Jeff and Shawn are indeed brothers-in-law.
Notice the underlined variety above. CA Cold and CA Hardy are the same plant. Shawn, as with members in other forums, actually calls them more often as CA Cold Hardy.
