What kind of clowns do you guys think I have

I am looking to begin trying to raise some babies from this pair of clowns I have had for the past 4 years. Here are some pictures, the first pics are really old and the last was taken today. The female has a 1-2cm band of orange on her belly now, the black almost made it all the way around. It was suggested that I come over here to get some opinions. I wonder what the babies might end up looking like???

I absolutely agree with Morgan on this one. Both are ocellaris without a doubt.
The reports I have heard about crossing orange with black ocellaris are that the babies turn out a dirty orange.
 
Thanks all, that seems to be the consensus with a few thinking male-percula. I always thought they were both ocellaris and she just kept getting darker and darker.

Hmmm, dirty orange...not that pretty sounding. How does Burnt Orange sound? or possibly Auburn, Amber, or Hazel? :D I like Hazel and Amber the best. I'll need to market them and Amber sounds so exotic compared to diry orange, don't ya think? :D

I'm thinking of trying it out to see if I can and what I end up with. I'll keep you all posted.
