Are Anconas just mottled Leghorns?

Please someone throw a rookie a bone here. Wouldn't these be Splash?

I think far too much black to be splash

They aren't splash.
Splash is two copies of blue.
Blue is a dilute gene.
One copy dilutes black to blue.
A second copy dilutes it again.
So a splash has diluted black twice. Those clearly have all black specks.That wouldn't be the case with splash. They'd be a shade of or various shades of blue.
I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't correct exchequer but more like the genetics of what you posted from the calculator.
Paints are cool but they don't breed true like exchequer does.

I need to get a pic of my splash bird.... she's as white as a std white Leghorn but with blue/black splashes.... she definitely isn't light blue

I just meant a splash wouldn't be white and black.
To dilute part to white it wouldn't leave black in other areas and no blue.
Blues and splash can vary quite a bit.

Somewhere else I read that splash should be a light blue coloured bird..... they are probably wrong

They can be.
It's a dilute gene so the amount of dilution varies.

Spot the splash
