Try honey, karo tends to stall for me, also are there any air holes and start smaller, like a 150ml jar, the shallow but wide choad looking ones, they rock.

They are of a different color because of two possibilities: A) one has a higher concentration of the sugar you added or b) one caramelized a little more than the other during sterilization.
or it could be contaminated but that's probably not the case for you.

You wont know for sure until you inoculate something with them. Myc and contam look the same suspended in water, test it first. As far as color, looks okay. Ive used LCs that were far darker in color with plenty of success.
