I got this as a superbiens division from a plant that has been in collection for decades at a Belgian nursery.
My feeling says it is an "original type" superbiens fma. sanderae, but I know the challenges within the "superbiens complex": Paph. superbiens var. curtisii fma. sanderae? / Paph. curtisii fma. sanderae? / Paph. superbiens fma. sanderae? "Original" or "Rediscovered" superbiens? ... I give in.

Now let the taxonomic fireworks begin 😉 I'm happy to watch it from the sidelines... I just wanted to share the pictures.
 
I think gouthenianum is different, but this is just my opinion.Here are goult ad superbiens, from net.First is superbiens, second is goult albumScreenshot_20230730_101313.jpgScreenshot_20230730_101114.jpg

The nursery where I got it from also had Goultenianum, Maudiae, Alma Gevaert... in albino form and most of their species ancestors in color form, so I am certain we can exclude those as possibilities.
