What type of pepper?

What type of pepper is this?

It was sold to me as a Bolovian Rainbow Pepper but I do not believe it is a Bolovian Rainbow.

Plant characteristics:

- Peppers start purple and mature to bright red
- Peppers grow upright
- Pointy shape
- Smooth and thin skin
- Medium heat
- mature pepper size is about 1" to 1.5" long and about half inch diameter at widest point
- Purple flowers
- High yeilding plant with 50-60 peppers on a plant at one time

What do you think?

I have not a clue what it is but it looks great. Whats the flavour like? Are the pods full of seeds?

last time I tasted one was last year. I don't remember what I had for breakfast today so unfortunately I don't remember what it tasted like last year :( other than that they were medium heat--maybe a little hotter than a Jalapeno.

They do have a lot of seeds in them.
 
Here are some pics of my Bolivian ( sorry poor res):

Still early in the fruiting stage, no pods have changed from purple yet. This plant was slow to germinate and has just started to get going in the last two weeks.
