I think C. senilis has some diagonal markings like this. Did you rear it?

I did raise such a larva in 2008 (so it will be a while before I get to upload it) which was C. stenophara. It was same instar I'd say - identical body shape - pink not orange (does colour matter?) proportionally bigger white dots on sides with thin black surround, but no diagonal lines through them, dark stripe in back from head but not the dots.
