Marcus,

Take a look at the attached link. It might be useful.

The ones they are selling as L199 might be L174 .
L316 also look similar ( although the white stripes are narrower)and some specimens have a few spots as well as vertical stripes.
I am also looking for some nice L199 similar to the one in Kevin Korotev's pictures with broad vertical stripes. Let me know if you see any around.

Regards,
Des.
