Personally I would say no, I don't see any signs of a BC split in your Charlie either judging by your photo of him (which seems to be gone now? I can't find it to quote you). BC splits are usually noticeable over their regular CFW brethren.

Here is one of my BC split CFW boys:

Here is his brother, totally normal CFW (breeds normal when paired to BC):

Not very! Unless it's a significant difference.
