Mangos
Sorry, typed & then removed a picture & forgot to retype... White flesh & yellow flesh last picture are both Okrung just one riper and both were sweet with yellow being a little sweeter but more brown/black spots to spit out.
Most okrung have the butt crack. The top of the butt crack near the stem often turns whitish yellow while the rest of the fruit is still green. Look for that clear white appearance on greenish fruit if wanting to pick before falls off.
Both fruit tasted good in the last picture and both were sweet but more of a sweet limey taste in the green fruit and other riper was sweeter with a stronger peeling taste.
Once off it proceeds to the brown/black spots, sort of like us on our arms when we get too old; so eat quick. If I wait a day too long, I usually bite through the black spots and pull them and the fruit downward off the seed and then spit out the black/brown material on the skin and still get a pretty good taste. It's easier than picking/pulling/cutting it off with a knife as you lose too much. Anyone who eats fish head soup without batting an eye should be able to do it... lol...
I've only had one year that fruit was on it July and the later fruit like most varieties is usually better and also bigger size trees have better odds of sweeter fruit.

The Carrie Twins 
Getting old or the trees are getting big, or both... Hasya now is getting round fruit shape on one or more as in picture... So if in a container I would not be able to tell which is hasya or morena after I picked them... lol...
