Oh THANKS for those pictures, that's actually a really good comparison and there is a HUGE difference between the two now that I see pictures. Thanks <3

Now I will post what I have learned in the cat world. Torties, Patches, and Calico.
Tabby or Patched Tabby? - If a cat has patches of red and/or cream or has two different colors on its nose leather and/or paw pads, the cat is probably a patched tabby (silver, blue or brown).

Tortoiseshell or Black? - Even just a small patch of red and/or cream on the cat, or if the cat has mottled black and cream paw pads, will make the cat a tortoiseshsell, not a black.

Now how to tell if it is a patch. All tabby have a light smoke ring around the eyes. Look at any tabby and you will see what I mean. So with a patch tabby you will see a smoke ring under the eyes. With or without white. Patch will have red or cream in the coat, which is brown, silver or blue.

Now a tortie is a solid color black, black smoke and blue. One thing you will see is no smoke ring under or around the eye. No shading difference. A tortie will have red/cream coloring in the fur. These can be with or with out white, also.

Calico is a solid also. Can be with or without white. They have very distinct red/cream, black/blue/smoke shapes. Not intertwinded with the each other.

I don't know if this helps or not but in cat show rules this is how it is put. (well in simple working.) You look like you do have one patch and one tortie. But I would love to see pictures of their faces to be sure.
Both girls are very stunning.
