Been googling - my fish have a black line from top of eye to bottom. It says that Rosy Tetra have that! Other than that I can’t tell the diff but they def do have that black line!!
This isn’t a great pic, but you can see the line in the bottom fish...

I think they're bentosi as they have a dark area just behind the gills. It gets more pronounced as they grow. The black in fins is more dominant as well, which is why they get called whitetip rosy as it shows the white up more.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it!

Bentosi has that dark mark just behind the gills that yours have. Rosaceus doesn't.
I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

I think it's the same in both.
They are very close cousins, possibly from the same genetic original......
