Is this a Black Mountain leopard orchid? I am unsure. Thank you for your help. Photos are of two plants

It is indeed a Black Mountain leopard orchid. They seem to be isolated to Black Mountain and the reserves surrounding it. They tend to be lightly blotched whereas the other leopard orchids in the ACT are heavily blotched.
