Ummite vs Eben
No. Ummites are tall human-like correspondents from the Spanish Ummo letters; Ebens are small grey beings from the Project Serpo story.
The difference
Two visitors known through documents rather than sightings. The Ummites wrote thousands of letters to Spanish researchers from the 1960s and were described as tall, human-like scientists; the Ebens were described in the 2005 Project Serpo postings as small grey hosts of a human exchange team.
The Ummo letters were claimed as a hoax by their likely author; the Serpo story has never been sourced at all.

In their own dossiers
The letters described Ummites as human in every visible respect: tall, fair, physically fit, with slightly larger and more sensitive fingers and a reduced sense of taste. They claimed to walk unnoticed in European cities and to have adopted local names and jobs. There is, by design, nothing to see; the Ummite is a being of letters.
The Serpo emails described Ebens as about four and a half feet tall, with large heads, large dark eyes, tan or brownish skin, small noses and mouths, and bodies more human in proportion than a Grey's. They were said to be a single race with little variation, living in small communities under a bright double sun.
