For Saiyuki, "The Uten Sanzo" is a canon character who doesn't have a name or canon appearance - we only hear about him from a villain who killed him and kept the Uten sutra. For Ibun, "The current Muten & Maten & Seiten Sanzos (Saiyuki Ibun)" would be the sanzos who carry those sutras at the present time during Ibun (which takes place several years before current Saiyuki canon), before Koumyou, Goudai, and Tenkai. We see them from the back very briefly when they're welcomed to the temple where everything is happening, but don't otherwise have canon names or appearances for them.
