Protea seedling identification

Hi, I grew several proteas from seed earlier this year and somehow the tags on the seedlings were lost. I know that I planted several varieties of protea - neriifolia, repens and cynaroides. I may have planted another species as well but my memory fails me at the moment! I was hoping someone would be able to identify these, as I know there are many Australian palmtalkers who may be very familiar with these amazing plants. I know for a fact that these are not P. cynaroides. The stems are a nice pink color on the side that's exposed to more sun and the leaves are very fuzzy. Do these seedlings look distinctly like nerifolia or repens to any of you? Or perhaps they're something else altogether?

that's a tough one.

they look very similar when young.

when it flowers it will be easy to help you ID it.
