Those first two pics. look like what I would think a Ghost Kastanie would look as a hatchling.
I know you mentioned the genes invloved and Katstanie isn't one of them, but ya never know these days

If this one would be an amel it would hatch like a snow and turn out to be a regular amel a few sheds later.
Since Frank Schaub hatched some ghost kastanies last year, I'm pretty sure this one is no kastanie. Unfortunately Anery masks kastanie, so a ghost kastanie looks identical to a regular ghost. That combination was kind of a bummer...

What you are describing as "Snows" that transform into Amels (with Red), is what we now call Sunrise
I agree that if it is a Ghost, then it probably isn't Kastanie as well, but.....what if this isn't an Anery?? I actually do have a "Snow" looking animal from this clutch too! Check it out!!
