Question about polypterus palmas and polypterus palmas palmas

the question, what are the sub species of polypterus palmas

palmas and palmas palmas? why is it repeated or am i totally wrong? from pics i find online the palmas palmas has banding and the palmas does not?

then of course the palmas butterkoferi, and palmas polli(which i think is a longer thinner version)

are there more!?

Those photos are from a OG Poly keeper on MFK, CDM, he owns a 30" Congicus.
There is Polypterus palmas palmas, Polypterus palmas polli, and Polypterus palmas buettikoferi. No idea what Polypterus Palmas is. Not specific enough.
