Dear Erwin,
I think these two are the same species. I also am not sure whether we are dealing with one variable species or a group of similarly coloured species. I think it is less complicated if I call them to be Nembrotha cf. purpureolineata until we get the group sorted out.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
