Are these, perchance dictyospermum albums?

Yes, Frond-friend42, those are Dictyosperma album, however, they look like Dictyosperma album furfuraceum to my eyes.

Dictyosperma album rubrum looks like this when fully grown.

How do you differentiate rubrum from furfureaceum.  I was under the impression that the latter had leaflets what were ajoined even in maturity.

This is a good question for @Palmarum. I had asked a similar question a while back and he answered it via PM.

I had read that palms were sold as furfureaceum(formerly conjagatum) frequently that didnt have the joined leaflets as adults, but that they were believed to be mis ID'ed.  Conjagatum is a deep green with some blue I have read.  I have also read its a smaller palm in mature height and slower in growth rate.
