Can you post a picture of them both, be easier to tell then.

Not all Bristlenoses have bristles for a long time, some don't at all.

This is one
 
and the other:

 
neither have bristles... theyre about 3 inches long

First one is certainly a bristleose, second I'm not sure. Took my bristlenoses about a year before I saw any, and even now they are still pimples! Don't worry about slow growth! Look healthy regardless!

females dont grow bristles and if they do they are minimal

That is true. Though males and females take a while to develop.

Can you get a better side on picture of the second one? As has been said, first is a definite bristlenose but second I'm not so sure about...

Im sure the second one is a sailfin pleco. They grow huge. It looks like one i had a few years ago.

Not dark enough for a Sailfin Pleco

I have tried to get better pictures, but the darn thing is camera shy

Hmm... Tempt him out with a wafer? Or bloodworm?

Is it actually a grey colour or is it just the pictures?
Looks like a very pale Pterygoplichthys Multiradiatus or now I've seen it properly a very, very pale Pterygoplichthys Gibbiceps.
Both are species of Sailfin Pleco which I know someone above mentioned and the patterning matches but the colour is very off

 

[coyemuse]

Its kinda darker greybrownish with dark brown spots
