Well how technical do you want to get, because technically, the only BEL that actually look leucistic are the lesser/butter x lesser/butter, but on a genetic level I doubt are true leucistic either.

Butter
Mojave
Russo Het Leucistic
Phantom
Mystic
Lesser Platinum
Mocha
Special
Daddy Gene

are all part of the same complex though, they all sit on the same locus. has nothing to do with how the snakes look. Same locus = Same complex in snake talk.
