It would help if you could prove a clear shot of the mouth. To me, it looks like one of the L201/H. contradens group.

i am also thinking L201,i will get a good mouth picture for you.Why are so many places calling these L082??The price was cheap so i did suspect they were wrongly named but thought i would try.

Well, I guess that L082 are worth a lot more than L201/H. contradens, etc, so by "misidentifying" them, you get more money - of course.
Of course, it's unlikely that you'd confuse them at the export - unless there is a BIG mistake in where they came from. The L082 comes from Rio Xingu, the L201/etc. are from Rio Orinoco.
I don't know about the L201 pictures.

Those look like my
They are a nice fish, but certainly no L-82.
