on the Seasprite there seems to be fotos of a white torpedo or an orange one being carried. What is the difference?

Not sure, but orange usually denotes a test device, light blue is a practice round, and white is a war-shot (live) round.

the orange is a REXTORP (REcoverable Excesisie TORPedo) overall white is a live, warshot torp.

I was an HSL ordie we would usally load REXTORPS. here are some pics
