Really a difficult call. The two species really seem to be very close. Flkowers would have helped. And frankly nomenclature is confusing going by Flora of China.

Although the two species are close, we can rule out Acer pectinatum because it is not found in Western Himalayas. So it should be Acer acuminatum
