The fronds were definitely a much lighter green than the larger cooperi/brownii ones, so broadly speaking I'd say they look similar. They had made the effort to relabel them from dealbata/medullaris that was on the official label so suggests that they probably are.
As I mentioned though, the australis were the £24.99 ones and were really just starting to think about putting some trunk on. Probably 6 inches on the best ones, so nowhere near the size of those big ones. They had some more in the next house as well so seem to have taken a decent delivery of them. Quite a few had potential to make double trunks I would say, although appreciate often once can die off in favour of the other (think my squarrosa may be going that way!).
