To quickly identify which is which --
Look at the bow numbers -- although you cannot make them out from a distance it is fairly clear that one has two lines of Print and the other only a single line.
The Doris only carry's her bow numbers (single line of print)
The Sophie C has two lines of print - her bow numbers which are over the words U.S. Mail Boat.
There is a suttle distinction in the Helm area, but that is hard to determine or distinguish if you don't see them regularly.
footnote -- the Sophie C is twin screwed & produces the largest wake (yes, significantly larger than the Mount - so beware )
