same color strap in cordovan?

There is the 'rhett' which I know is cordovan but has a different colored strap.

I just won them on ebay, but have come to worry that they are not shell as I had thought.

they are however new.

Looks like a tiny bit of micro-creasing...even though they really haven't been creased?

Yeah, shell just doesn't look like that when it creases. Definitely calf, but still nice-looking shoes.
