I saw them at my LFS, and they were labeled C.Multimaculatus, but i don't think they are.

I agree that they are not C. multimaculatus...I would probably go for C. kanei, but I'm not a 100% certain that C. kanei would be correct either.

From what I can see they look like a a variation of C. loxozonus, this is a very variable species in regard to colour pattern.

in aqualogs all c-numbers these were given the c numbers of c 79 and c 83 both being Corydoras cf.loxozonus later being grouped with loxozonus totally.i know at first it can be quite hard to see but when they are plced over a dark substrate the black banding down the back shows up as you can just about make out in your picks
hope this helps
