This is one of those cases which the developers adding the games decided at the time that there were enough unique differences such as title sequences, logos, companies, years of distribution, and different sound hardware which is enough to not call one or the other a parent or clone. Add to that the fact that none of the roms are the same at all between sets.. making a clone/parent relationship less attractive as there is no redundant data.

I don't consider them clones... without further proof

that said Spectrum 2000 is a very buggy game, it might be a bootleg, but the originality of either game in general is rather questionable.
