I have the Shinseiki and the new growth is yellow green.

Does anyone have both Shinseiki and Nijiseiki asian pears?  (In English one 
is New Century
and the other 20th Century, but I don't remember which is which).  I have 
both 
grafted onto one tree, but have lost track of which is which.  One I have 
noticed
has a slight reddishness to its new growth while the other does not.  If 
anyone 
has these, could they look at their trees and let me know which is which?  I 
don't think
trying to identify the fruit itself will be very useful as I believe the 
fruits are very similar.
 
Thanks,
