It requires an expert to tell them apart. 
Just looking at them both you won´t tell them apart.
The flowers ae the big diferencial. Dyckia pseudodeliata has bigger  flowers and the have a hint of orange.
Mine did not bloomed under cultivation up to now
Also according to Dr. Jones Caldas, Dyckia delicata tend to present a flat dish like crown while pseudodelicata shows a ball shaped one.
Both have rubbery spines and present many leaves both are polileaved or multifeaved plants.
Clearly both are very similar to one another
