So far as I can see they were true sisters. Compare:
http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/A-Ships/ariel1939.html
http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/I-Ships/iris1940.html

but looks like this one is IRIS.
Here is a different view at the same location in 1958

The General Post Office cable ship ARIEL had that appearance, but I can't say there weren't other, similar vessels.
