Hi all

Can anyone help me ID these two African Papilio?

I am pretty sure these are female Papilio hornimani but would like some more 
input.  I can't seem to find any pics on the net and the D'abrera 
afrotropical book doesn't have anything either for comparison.  The hindwing 
verso has extra spots but the underside looks most like P. hornimani.  These 
are Tanzanian.  Maybe two diff color forms.

Here is the pics to look at:
