Hey Captain.Charisma.
Have you owned a bull breed before? yes they are different breeds. Dogs then known as "old mountain bulldogs", "Pit Bulldogs" & "Old Southern Whites" were used in both the pre registration Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog and pre registration American Bulldog. They then took two, very different paths to get where they are now. But this is why some have referred to the two breeds as "kissing cousins".
"In short, the Alapaha is smaller than an American Bulldog. The overall differences are genetic and involve the true lineage of the breeds.
Many differences in the development of the two breeds exist and for those who've had the opportunity to own them both, the difference is mostly in protectiveness and intelligence. The Alapaha is sharper and more consistent without a doubt."

This is a pic of WKA's BIG RED. He is 12 months weighs 90lbs LEAN and stand's 19.5" high a perfect example of an Alapaha.
This is CRK's JUNKYARD BULLY (RIP), he is possibly the closest your going to get the original stock. You'll see dogs in this dogs pedigree show up in some of best pre registration/early Am bulldogs.
here's a 3 gen pedigree of CRK's JUNKYARD BULLY (I have 2 of his daughters in quarantine they are available.)
