Mutsu vs. Shizuka smackdown

These Japanese apples have the same parents. How far does the family resemblance go?

Shizuka

My two Shizuka apples are large and spring green, slightly oblate spheres decorated with crackles of tan russet and darker green lenticels that have small light centers. One of my samples, shown, has a faint pink-orange blush in a region of peel that is almost yellow. (It also has some tiny bruises.)
