Either *Carpobrotus aequilaterus* or *Carpobrotus edulis* (not *Carpobrotus glaucescens*) ?

Please refer to and go through this Flora of NSW online PlantNet botanical key to NSW species to check this identification,
eg. do the flowers come out at first yellow then fade to white or do the flowers come out much more white – cream than fully yellow?
and
do the keels of the leaves and the longer sepals have fine teeth or smooth? :
