I'd say L333 because it's somewhat more yellowish - until I saw your last picture on which the fish looks very white, which made me think this had to be an L066.
The caption that all pictures are of the same fish left me with just one conclusion: can't tell for sure. Luckily other people will join in, so you'll get your ID. Don't worry.

I would go for L066 because it looks more like what I have as L066 that were imported from Brazil by someone working therein conservation on the Amazon. My L333 is a shop purchase, so the ID may be wrong. The last picture of the first group certainly makes things a little more confusing, because up until I saw that I would have said L333.
