Having compared the photos and what is offered locally under the name you supplied, I must say there are too many differences for it to be a pine.

On the other hand, it being a juniper is probably correct. The plant in the stock photo certainly looks similar to mine.
The number of junipers being offered here and their low price also point in that direction (as a comparison, even the smallest pines are 5 times their price).

I wonder if you could help with nailing down the specific cultivar as it doesn't seem to be one of the few most commonly offered here.

Some additional information:

Their main stems aren't really upright at the moment - the one in the second photo has a stick placed behind it to keep it somewhat less flat. They're small (the smaller ones are half foot tall, while the one that's kept more upright is about 1 foot). So far they have been growing rather slowly and have kept their original, vaguely triangular, shape.

Also, they're soft to the touch, unlike the prickly horror that grows opposite them Whistling
