Possible sport or unstable violet.

Okay, I left a message here several months ago about what I thought might be a possible sport. It was a baby from one of my Kentucky Strawberries leaves (((D. Rollins) Double fuchsia, variable white tips.edges. Dark green, serrated red back. Semiminiature)) that I set back in November. When it came up in February it was a light green. I was told that it was normal and that it would settle to its proper color as it grew up.

I have since then had a beautiful baby that has come out exactly as listed, but the first baby hasn't settled yet. The leaves are two-toned, light and dark, and the flowers are fuchsia shot with white. The leaf sibling to the normal one came up light green like the first baby, and never changed color. The flower on this one is white, with a touch of fuchsia in the center, with some very light, almost yellow, green streaks. Are my two babies unstable or possible sports? Should I set leaves from them to see what happens?
