The similarities in appearance aren't that big however. The Sphinx is more slender, more furry, lacks the huge mane of spikes, has less boneplate, and most importantly, has a snake tail instead of a scorpion tail. Even the symbol on the forehead is different, if you look closely.

Just because the Sphinx commanded the Manticores it doesn't mean they're the same species. They don't even need to. Being able to spit fireballs is not enough to say they're the same species either.

They are as similar to each other as Beowulves and Ursa are to each other.
