I think the ones you've pictured are different because they're cut slightly lower than a standard desert boot.

In Australia they were often referred to as br****l creepers (house of ill repute). I don't know why, but older gents always called them that.
They evolved from the standard British Army Desert boot (Chukkas) from WW2. You can read about the evolution HERE.
I've been shopping for a good pair of chukkas for a while now. They're really comfortable and look great with jeans, cords, or even, possibly, a kilt?
