I remember someone making a similar observation last year, and the consensus was that they had a platty daddy rather than a lesser. I couldn't tell you if these little guys are or not though.
Yeah we'll have to see what they look like once they shed out to get a better idea of what's going on, if anything.

Look at some pics of hatchling Platty Daddys. They're much lighter than these.
Lucifer Sam, Siam cat...
Always sitting by your side,
Always by your side...
That cat's something I can't explain...
Looks like they may have colored up now. They looked a lot lighter in the first few pics you posted. Do they look different in person?
The one that is in the top right definitely has a different look to him in person. Unfortunately their egg skin isn't making for getting a decent pic of him.
I do agree that I highly doubt it's a Platty Daddy. Though he is lighter he has a completely different look than the pics I've seen on Ralph's site.
My best guess is that mom's nice light color just did more to enhance him than the others.
Once they shed I will get some comparison pics of him and his clutch mates.
