Variants - what can I say?
There are no real rules in naming a fly. Ask 10 people the standards naming convention is a and you will get at least 12 answers.
Both have the characteristics of a humpy.
Very thick hackle in the front. a Thick thread or floss body with an overbody on the top and a substantial tail.
A very bouyant fly that floats well through the rough water. An excellent small stream fly it is. But it works well on larger rivers also. Brookies seem to be quite partial to them.
Now tell me the fly fisherman that is mostly credited with this fine creation?
