I think it's fun to try and figure out the ID on a NOID! Those of us that have the rhizomes from the original grower/hybridizer should have the correct flower. Now, that being said, lighting and cameras make a lot of difference in the photographs also. Just subtle things like the color of the beards, the width and color of edging, the ruffles and/or frills, plus plant characteristics, the stripes on shoulders, color under the beards and etc should all be clues. Our Smiling Gold has a faint lilac strip below the beard.
