Peppers from Jamaica

Can you identify these peppers I got from a street vendor in Jamaica this March?

The green one looks like a Scotch Bonnet but was too unripe to have a distinct taste.
 
The brown one was packed with seeds and a reddish placenta. It tasted the most like an orange habanero. Could it be a Congo Black or a Jamaican Hot Chocolate Habanero?
 
The red tasted like a typical chinense and was hotter than a grocery store habanero.
 
The orange looked like a flat pumpkin, and was slightly hotter than the red.
 
The two yellow ones were the largest, and I'm most interested in them. They were the hottest, and had thin walls. The yellow color was more of a pale yellow than a strong, orangish yellow. They were also distinctly citrusy, and were tart, like lemons. I know they're not MOA Scotch Bonnets.
 
This Imgur picture I took looks very similar to the photo at the top of this page: http://www.pepperscale.com/scotch-bonnet-pepper/. This photo doesn't include the brown type, though, so I'm assuming the brown is some type of habanero. If the other 4 types are Scotch Bonnets, what should they be called? Non-MOA Scotch Bonnets? Are there any specific names for them?
 
Thank you in advance!
 
Just upload to imgur and use the code they give you in the gallery to post in forums, so we don't have to click any links and the picture gets posted here directly!

Edit- I can't really ID the pods for you, but they look like a  good find, grow some of the seeds from the yellows out, they sound interesting :)
 
The orange one is very typical of a marketplace Scotch Bonnet, while the brown is almost certainly a Chocolate Hab (the hottest colour of standard Hab). The others look to be less typical phenos of simmilar varieties and the red one could even be a tailless Savina (an even hotter specialist Hab that goes up to 600KSHU) at a push. More likely just an oddly formed regular one though.
