Your picture shows the Klein 1006 where both crimp areas are for non insulated terminals. The Klein 1005 is the one with both insulated and non insulated dies.

Yes I know the 1006 is suppose to be used for on non insulated connectors. But I find they work better than the types that just smashed the insulated ones flat. Just don't squeeze so hard you punch trough the plastic.

Nice images.

All these tools look about the same to me, other than misalignment in the chinesium. I have the red handled Klein set, personally.

They all look similar, but each brand has different shaped dies.
