ID this brown pleco pair Please

Post by MrCyp »

Can somebody help me ID this pair of plecos, they are about 3.5 inches long and im by no means a pleco expert but a person told me that they looked them up in a tropical fish book for reference, and believed them to be Casudo Panaque Armadillo De Rio Hypostamus. Is this even close to the real kind they are, or are they common BN. I thank you for your time.

It's actually four names. Punctuation is helpful sometimes.
