Wait I had the EXACT same thing happen to me this year with the exact same looking squash!! They were from saved delicata squash seeds from a few years prior and it was just this one plant that produced 2 that looked like delicata and then maybe 8 that we called frankensquash that looked a cross between delicata and acorn! The frankensquash was delicious and had the texture of a softer acorn squash but had the butteriness of a spaghetti squash.
Phenotypic diversity (different looking fruit) on the same plant can be caused by developmental timing, environmental factors, or genetic or epigenetic aspects of the mother plant that affect how the fruits grow and mature. It has nothing to do with different baby daddies, so to speak.

I guess that’s common for squash. It happened to me as well.

One’s delicata, and the other is likely a random compost hybrid. 😄
