Two hamata, same source, different clones, plus a third

Okay, about two years ago I received two hamata from overseas, both the same size but different clones. They have been raised together but one has outshone the other. Here is the first, growing nicely, except only two pitchers right now, in a three inch pot.

And here is the other, still in it's two inch pot.

And my third is an unnamed clone, label just says hamata, from the same grower (gift from a TF member) that I've had for closer to four years now.

Since all three are being grown together, is the difference between the first two clonal?
 
I've had the same thing with N.clipeata. I've had clone U for about 6 years, and it's the same size as a clone 2 I've had for 3-4 years.

Meanwhile, all my N.hamatas at least 3 years later are still rosettes too.

Seems like it definitely could be Chibae. Myself and several growers on here have a hamata hybrid from the same vendor clone, grown in similar conditions, and yet they all look different.

Which hybrid if I may ask.
