Matteo,
I suppose it is a possibility that you were sold a piece of Bensour that
was mislabeled as Benguerir. Or, it is possible that someone intentionally
deceived you. Let the scientists do their work and it will be determined
whether or not these two meteorites are related.

Fresh, broken surfaces may look very similar but as soon as
you look at cut and polished slices, they look conspicuously
different:
=> the Bensour texture is patchy, cloudy and FeNi sparse
=> Benguerir looks more grainy, sprinkled, or speckled
