Default Cattleya Portia vs. NOID

Last year I posted this NOID Cattleya pics in OB, but I didn't had a C. Portia (bloomed at same time) for comparison. This year both are 'synchronized' and pics of both shows the differences; the size of flowers and number per spike are the same, as the vegetative parts (big, robust bifoliate catts). The lips have different shape and colors; the colum is different too. C. Portia has more 'powerfull' perfume, that remembers C. labiata fragrance. I guess NOID it's not a Portia (C. bowringiana x C. labiata), but close related.
Pics 1 & 2, C. Portia; pics 3 & 4, C. NOID; 5 & 6, both
Any guess?
Thanks in advance!
