I think you have missed to describe the most differentiated observable trait between polyacantha and trichophora.
On O. trichophora new segment mainly starts from main stem and later on older segments while on polyacantha new segments mainly starts from older segments and rarely from main stem. This trait is suppressed when you grow plants from a cutting though
