RajaPuri has tighter steps in the crown and less graceful, more upright leaves than Orinoco.
It's also more stout; somewhat thicker pseudostem (relatively speaking) and shorter than Orinoco.
The bloom compared with Orinoco is very different, the bud has many more bracts folding over each other at the tip, and the male flowers stay on the raceme. The female flowers are different as well, I think we have pictures of both here in the gallery and/or the wiki.
