Sorry, those photos aren't the best, but maybe they'll help.

Now there are exceptions to the spot vs blotch, but they are rarely seen:

Konjac has some varieties- one has a pinkish stem, and is named Amorphophallus konjac 'Leo Song'
Another has a very dark petiole (stem) and is called Amorphophallus konjac 'Nightstick'
Another has very light chartreuse leaves and is called Amorphohallus konjac 'Gordon's Gold'
The last one I know of has variegated leaves and is called Amorphophallus konjac 'Shattered Glass', which usually sells for over $200 on ebay.

Plant Delights sold a variety of bulbifer that had a streaky petiole (stem) instead of the big blotches. You can sort of tell it's a bulbifer, though. Konjac has more of an olive green color than bulbifer.
Here's another (bad) photo of Amorphophallus bulbifer 'Stripes'
