What are the differences between these 2 species? Looks like P. tigrinawesseli has more black on its legs and a darker carapace. Any other distinct differences?

Both from NE India, but very easy to tell apart. Look at the legs.
Miranda is the only Poec that has white patella, both ventrally and dorsally; no black bands on that segment. It's very obvious when you look for that feature.
Tigrina has the most vivid black/white leg banding of any Poec, both ventrally and dorsally. Very bold, like a barbershop pole. Formosa is the next most heavily banded, but dorsally it's colors are more muted, and ventrally, the black leg bands are mainly on the front legs. With tigrina, the black ventral leg bands are thick and prominent on both the front and rear legs.
