Certainly looks plausible. Any idea of it's origin?

And nice looking specimens too!

No I'm afraid not, they were exchanged in the LFS by a customer.
One thing that is saying to me that they are not milesi is that although it cannot be seen in these pictures because they are a bit stressed the dorsal and caudal are quite red and the spots seem more dense on the body than milesi.
