Found this pic of Leptopoma nitidum, the species the second snail was listed as being based on.

though I also found these

from here-

www.asahi-net.or.jp/~CH2M-NITU/eggj4.htm

The exact same model, except is listed as Leptopoma vitreum, and heres a Leptopoma vitreum

It looks more like it.

Identifying a plastic snail ;D
