Didi, I have both, GOLAP-JAM retains its calyx lobes <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/GsYhsdDlvvo/wGy8LFiQ6TUJ>, leaves are rather oblong, flowers are significantly bigger <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/GsYhsdDlvvo/c6O-QsYTnQUJ>, whereas KALO-JAM fruits are not globose <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/pnQKkEx6zjk/rM0739XGy3oJ>. There are cultivars of both species. But fruits characters are more or less same, all matured *jambos* fruits retain calyx lobes.
The one with globose fruits in this set of pics maybe *S. guineense* but I ahve never seen that species.
