It is hard to tell the sub-species looking at the plastron in this case.
The plastron might have worn off, resulting in faded markings.
The carapax of o.luteola tends to have more striping than o.ornata.

Maybe this helps:

No its not worn off, the faded plastron is one of the typical key-points to regonize the sub-specie luteola
