My Olive Green Habanero MUTATION!

I just wanted to share with you all a natural mutation that grew out for me in this years 2015 grow.
I was growing four plants of chocolate habanero. (seeds I purchased from Judy at pepperlover.com).
Three plants grew true and one mutated and the fruit ripened to stay olive green color until it rots. When I cut open the peppers the placenta color was yellow. The pepper had a great taste. They were very hot and to me were hotter than my chocolate habs.
I have shared half of my harvested seeds with Judy since she will be helping to stabilize this new variety and share it with others as she wishes.
I didn't get too many pods off this plant as I had 94 plants in a 15'x25' plot and this plant was way in the back and crowded over it early on in the year. It will be overwintered next year as also f1 seeds will be grown.
Here are pictures of some very ripe pods.

Indirect sunlight



This pod was getting soft due to being over ripe. I didn't pick it earlier to make sure there wouldn't be any color change.



Some pics with some direct sunlight.






I have also added some of these F1 seeds in Jeff's (capcom's) wild seed train to share with some THP members.

Thanks for viewing! :)

Is it possible that the "mutated" plant was just a seed from a different type of pepper that got mixed in with the others? I do know that there were quality control issues and the Aji Melocoton seeds that I had purchased this year had some Aji Penec seeds in there as well in the same bag marked "Aji Melocoton". I saw others on the forum with the same issue. Just looking at her website, is it possible that the fourth plant might have been a Green Moruga Scorpion or something similar?
