Help ID this guy please :)

OK, so it was actually trying to ID this sucker that lead me to the forum in the first place so here it is!
 
Back when the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion was busting onto the scene I bought a set combo off eBay (yeah dumb). It was meant to contain 10x TMS and 10x TSBT seeds.
 
I accidentally dropped the seeds and mixed them all up, but it didn't really matter because neither of them turned out to be what I was after. Instead I have 3 plants that all look the same and produce the same pods.
 
They are hot, but quite manageable, so more than a Hab but less than a Bhut.
 
Any help is appreciated :)

I have no idea, but here's a link to a site with a database you can search: http://thechileman.org/
 
That said, the thing that strikes me the most is how yellow the leaves are - are they really like that, or is it just the photo making them look so yellow? If they're really like that, likely you are overwatering it - pepper plant leaves that are healthy are a deep green, not yellow.  Peppers tend to like things a bit on the dry side, though not bone-dry - more "moist" than "wet".

I dunno why, but they remind me of a Broome Chilli. Could be way off though....
 
My searching had me find the Broome Chilli also, but they just don't seem to be a deep enough green from what I have read/seen

Yes, overwatered. Was away over Xmas and had the automatic watering system on every other day, but it rained 4 days in a row so it got pretty damp.

All the pods are super smooth, none are wrinkled.
 
The other thing is there is a massive variation of pod sizes, some mature the size of a pea, others are about 5cm long. It also is a very prolific producer, I have harvested continually of them since early September and they are still going.
 
I will take a photo of some young plants of which I am pretty sure are the same mislabeled seeds from the original eBay purchase, they look very C. Chinese when young.
 
Very cool looking pods.
 
The only thing I`ve seen like that is a very rare pepper from Ghana called Mako kokoo and the chances of it being that are as close to nil as I can imagine, without being absolutely sure.
