Long red baccatums

Hi! I harvested seeds from some unkown fresh chillis bought at the market. There where two types of them, some reds and some yellow/orange, with similar shape. These started dark green, and are now turning red. Any ideas what it can be? Im pretty sure it's a baccatum, judging by the look the flowers had.

I've never had a slender red baccatum at my house. The funny thing is I planted what I thought was a Aji pineapple or lemon from seed and one is ripening red. It is the first on the plant turning color right now. I will have to upload a pic of the plant and the peppers its growing.

How is the flavor, is it similar to Aji Pineapple or lemon?
 
Thanks all for your responses.

Maybe Peruvian Pointer . . . I grew them a few years ago.
From what i've red those rippen first to orange and then to red right? These are turning straight from green to red.

Same looks and growth habit as Aji Amarillo.  Save for the redness.  How bout AJi Rojo?
I couln't find much info or pictures of Aji Rojo, but quite probably the yellow chilis i had were Aji Amarillo, and they looked the same as the reds ones, which are what im growing, but yellow.

Pretty much the same happened to me, I was expecting yellow pods, and only when they begun to rippen to red did I remember i had also taken seeds from some red chilis along with the yellow ones, and mixed them at some point.

There are no open flowers right now, i'll take a picture when the next one opens, in 4 or 5 days i guess.
