Hornets have a green upper skirt and disc colour lower skirt so it looks like they alternate. Thats what the purple hornets are so I dont see why the blue would be any different.

The Blue Steels have green on both skirts from I can tell. I have a piece from Levi and its definatly a blue steel.

I'm pretty sure the ones I traded you were Purple Hornets Ryan, hows that frag doing for you btw? Haha ironically we are probably arguing about the exact same species just exhibiting a different morphotype. Although mine don't alternate (All of them exhibit the metallic green color), IMO they look more like Hornets (Purple) than the Blue Steels.
