Default Four O'Clocks- Broken Colors vs. Kaleidoscope

IIRC, the two tone flowers and the speckled flowers grow on the same plant.
I have some pictures on my website somewhere showing this..ah, here it is:

my bad - I don't think these are the same as these:

And I think the second pic is the "broken colors". Do they look like the
pictures you have seen?

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between these two
varieties?

I've seen them mentioned together and got the impression that they
are basically the same. I bought seed for Broken Colors from Park
because I had a gift certificate but the picture on Burpee's
Kaleidoscope pack looks alot more interesting. The Kaleidoscope
picture shows more speckled flowers whereas the Broken colors shows
more flowers that are two-tone half and half. If they are indeed
different I'd rather grow Kaleidoscope. I don't have enough room for
both.

Thanks.
