They were planned to be Bebop and Rocksteady from the beginning. They just made them more unique this time around, since in the original show, Archie, and even IDW...they're kind of interchangeable from each other. There are some slight minute differences between the two, but not that much.
Rocksteady now being a Russian and Bebop being a Michael Jackson impersonator does set them apart. And as said, Rocksteady is still a white guy with blonde hair, and Bebop is still a black man with a purple mohawk before mutations. They're also still thieves/crooks, just not street punks, and they still work for Shredder.
