Assorted but Unsorted Chili Seeds

Hello!

So, got a conundrum for ya'll. I recently bought a packet of various chili seeds. One pack contains Habanero, one Anaheim, and another Jalapeno. There is a fourth packet as well, but it isn't so specific. The seeds inside are an assortment of Jalapeno, Anaheim, and Tepin. It's the Tepins I want, since I've already got some Jalapenos growing, as well as individual packets of more Jalapenos and Anaheims. I've looked into the pack, and the seeds look all the same to me of course, since there seems to be no real variation among chili seeds. Is there any way I can tell the seeds apart before planting? Or should I just plant them and wait for the sprouts to come up and then sort them then? If that's the case, what features (i.e. plant length/ width, speed of growth, etc) will distinguish the Tepins from the Jalapenos and Anaheims?

Many thanks in advance for an insight. You guys have been very helpful before, and I appreciate your input.

My experience with tepin seeds is that they are smaller than normal as well... can you see a size difference across the seeds? Anaheim seem to be slightly larger.

That said, its just a rule of thumb, I wouldn't count on it being 100% because for the most part pepper seeds look like pepper seeds :D
