Thanks for your replies.
@CG100: I agree with your remark on this Ledebouria's spotting. It is very similar to that of L. socialis. There is no visible dark pigment in the spots. In the youngest leaves, the leaf base does show a bit of dark coloration.
I did the marginata test. The leaves tear easily. You do see fibres when the leaves are torn, see picture. But I suppose this is not what you'd expect with L. marginata?
I had already checked Venter's Synopsis on the Genus Ledebouria Roth (2008), and did not find similar looking species there. Of course, that publication only describes South African Ledebouria species, and I have no clue on the origin of these specimens.
@Too Many Plants!: I acquired these plants only recently, and I don't know what the seller's growing conditions were. However, there certainly seems to be some natural variation in this species, as the specimen left in the picture has slightly broader leaves and larger dark blotches compared to the other plant. Indeed, identifying species just by looking at pictures is difficult, given the plasticity of these plants.
