P. murinus TCF: typical colour form
Named after the colouration of the type, different pale beige colouration, sometimes with a greenish sheen, long setae on legs and abdomen pale pink.

P. murinus RCF: red colour form
Long and short setae red/orange, often sold as P. mamillatus or P. spp. "usambara"

P. murinus UMV: Usambara Mountains variant
Probably a natural intergrade between TCF and RCF (but more close to TCF). Their coloration is more intensive yellow/pale orange than TCF.

P. murinus DCF: dark colour form
Coloured general darkgrey, partial black. Carapace gold/yellow with dark radial striae - those are not as intensive as P. murinus TCF. Rarely seen and not in the hobby. The abdominal pattern are the same in all colour variations.

They are colour variations of the same spider Rebecca.

I know it's very difficult to tell from a photograph, but I would almost certainly say RCF from those pics
