pod 7 Pod Jonah?

FadeToBlack

These are peppers i grew in 2010 which were labeled 7 pod Jonah. I got the seeds from a trade with a friend.
I saved some seeds from a few pods but unfortunately they wont germinate. I guess they got too old.
After looking at pictures of what Jonah's are supposed to look like, they seem to small and have a different shape.
The flavor is fruity and great and the heat is absolutely NUCLEAR. Even after being frozen for 2 about years they are still insanely hot.
Any idea of what variety of 7 pod it may be?

There's a few with the classic Jonah shape, while there are a few with a Brain/Moruga shape as well. Tough to call it. Almost all of my Jonahs have the shape of the one that is on the very far left.

Here is are a few pics with the average size pods I still have in the freezer.
The Bahamian quarter is the same size of a US quarter.
Gonna try some of the frozen seeds in the hopes I might get lucky.

The Nuclear heat is a good sign, mine made me see Jesus.

+1 That's what my Jonahs look like and yes, the big pods on my plant pack a TON of heat.

Even the color looks different. Your's look like more orange/red and mine were more blood red and maroonish on some pods.

I'm going to say moruga or butch-t ish.

But I'm starting to think unless I get into biogenetics, it sure seems like a lot of these formal names from this tiny Island are more alike than different. I'm new though, so I imagine it takes a long time to really learn to detect the nuances. But so often I think, maybe it's a Moruga + 7 pot, or I'll think - wait - this Moruga ? Why not just call it a 7 pot, after all it surely will flavor 7 pots of food.

I would wager if given a DNA test, the moruga and 7 pots would all show very similar ancestry.

I'd LOVE to see a map showing how various species evolved, haven't found it yet, I DO have a nice chart showing what can cross with what- it's a rather complicated chart but implies SOME history.

I'd even love to know where the Capsicum itself derived from, what progenitor was the first capsicum from ? That has to be millions of years back though.

I bet some forest monkeys had some REAL surprises when Capsicum chinense started to emerge.
