I bought these the same day/place as my pleco. They were listed as "San Juan Cories". Looking around online it seems there are sevral cories that are sold as "San Juan", bilineatus, napoensis, and elegans. But I can't tell which is which and which is mine.

You can rule out elegans, but the two thers can be difficult to tell apart. There is a difference in the development of the fry-patterns between the two species, but then you need to breed them to find out :)

At one monthof age, the bilineatus fry have a large blotch on thecaudal peduncle, with the napoensis don't have.

Looking at the last image you could add CW029 into the mix.
