I just had critical look at description of Mimosa sundra and M. catechu in Flora Indica of Roxburgh. According to it both have dark brown bark. The only two clear differences are prickles decurrent at base and 2-3 seeded lanceolate pods in M. sundra; M. catechu does not have decurrent prickles and most importantly pods are linear and 6-8 seeded.
