He's a cockerel :( Super bizarre he isn't bearded. He looks to be a Mahogany Orloff while your other pullet is a Spangled Orloff.
I’m asking if you still think he’s pure. Without the muffs or spangling. And he’s got a rather strange cushion comb.
 
But there is a lack of muffs?
I couldn't tell you but I assume he's just hatchery quality. He seems to even have a cushion comb. From my reading, birds can be heterozygous or homozygous for beard and muffs. If his parents were both heterozygous then 25% of their offspring would be clean faced like him. :) Likely some of the breeder stock is just impure for them is my guess
