Anerytheristic A and B?

The "type B" (more commonly called Charcoal, and IMO less confusing) is a different genetic trait than type A. Which is which depends entirely on which trait is being expressed.

In general, Anerys have a lighter ground color than Charcoals, and Anerys are generally higher contrast between ground/saddle colors than Charcoals.
However, both morphs vary, and the variation overlaps enough that it is unwise to depend on a visual identification.
Anerys are more common than Charcoals, so odds are that you have anerys. Again, this is a generality, so don't count on it.
The biggest questions are:
1- who/where did you get them from?
2- how were they labeled?
If it is possible to contact the breeder who produced them, that is the best chance you have of a reliable ID, short of breeding trials.

I'm talkin' to YOU.
Both are simple recessive genes, but are incompatible with one another. You cannot breed a charcoal with an Anery A and get anything but normals (unless one is het for the other trait -- not uncommon).
Furthermore, neck yellow USED to be a way to tell between the two, but again, the lines are blurred nowadays and this can no longer be used as a reliable form of identification. Charcoals, despite prior thought, are not necessarily axanthic, nor are Anery A's non-axanthic.
