Are these Sonoran Desert Tortoises?

Are these Sonoran Desert Tortoises?

Our tutles were born at the same time but one is growing at a much faster pace. I was worried that the larger one was keeping the smaller one from eating and so we separated them for a time. Or could it be that one is male/one is female? They are about 1 year old. Also, could you confirm that they are Sonoran Desert Tortoises?

Thank you!

No they do not have any dots, I think they are sonoran desert tortoises. I was still wondering if their difference in growth matters.
