That's a tricky one to spot sometimes, and you probably need bigger pictures to be clear. The ornate trident has like an extra bit under the horizonal part between the prongs.

Ok, if you look at the top of the trident where the prongs are, the ornamental one looks thicker and more, well more ornamental tham the plain trident! Can you see it, look where the arrow is?

Follow the fingers!!!

Just above the hand, there is a large ball, then the split into the 3 prongs. That is the plain trident.

Just above the hand, there is a cluster of 3 smaller balls, then the split into the 3 prongs. That is the ornate trident.
