Was labeled Trinidad Scorpion; Shape is Off; Some Wicked Stingers

Please help me ID this pepper.
 
This is one of the few that I bought as seedlings from farmers market. It was labeled as a Trinidad Scorpion, but the pod shape doesn't look right. Looking around it might be a Trinidad Scorpion VV7, or maybe a cross with a Bhut. Been waiting about a month for these guys to ripen.
 
Experts, what do you think?

Yeah, those don't have the Scorpion phenotype that most of us are used to seeing. But to me, it does look a lot like the "original" Trinidad Scorpion phenotype that CARDI grows:http://www.cardi.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2014/07/GENUINE-CARIBBEAN-HOT-PEPPER-SEED-PRODUCED-AND-SOLD-BY-CARDI-25jul2014.pdf
 
Photo 6 looks a lot like the pods on your plant...

Yeah, could be an off-pheno Scorpion (some do look like that) or a Bhut cross. Either way, it's atleast part Scorp.

Thanks guys! First time having a big grow (18+ types) and learning quickly how important it is to get your seeds from a known source.
