I agree with the crew pelt & Akro the cool thing about the pelt is I think it’s got the same colours as the NLR super boy not to confuse names it’s not called that just similar colours on a PPP 👌

Yes, that's what originally got my attention, and my noob mistake of discernment, i wasnt looking for the seams. Originally I thought it was a super boy.

Okay okay, so you both are thinking the 19mm is a PPP... is the absence of the Peltier seam the only indication? 

and the 16mm is an Akro corkscrew? It does have a subtle fluorescence  in the orange under my UV headlamp

Yes on the Peltier Peerless patch, it is a bigger one and it just takes some experience to spot these, all seams aside. Some have little coverage and some have great coverage---yours is a great size--- and just a great looking marble for a patch--just great!
Some but not all Akro Corkscrews fluoresce under UV light with a variety of colors. Yours is an Akro cork—no doubt in my mind. Corkscrews will also show up with opalescence.
That is why I always backlight them all and hit them with UV.
Marble—On!!
