Fresno or jalapeño... or none???

Hello there.
A few months ago, we discussed if these peppers, whose seeds I had just planted, were jalapeños or fresnos. And after opening one, we came to the conclusion that, because seeds don´t tend to be clustered at the top but scattered all along, would be surely a jalapeño.
But... the plant grew and the peppers point up... so it´s more likely to be a fresno.
In sum: seeds clustered like jalapeño, pointing up like fresno. Is it one of both, or some different kind?
Some pictures of the plant:
 

 

 

 

 
 
I´m still stucked with that one.
There were also other plants. One was identified as cayenne, let´s called it number 2. It still looks like it. I´m sending a picture just to let you see how it grew:
 

 
And this one... Well, I´m also stuck with it. It is very likely some kind of wild local specie, probably related to capsicum chacoense (although it doesn´t match with the pictures that can be found online). Number 3:
 

 

 

 

 
I don´t really care too much about these one. But the jalapeño/fresno issue is driving me mad... so, if you have any clues, they will be very welcomed. 
 
Nice pictures
If you plant a pepper in Fresno, Ca. wouldn't it be a fresno?

Naw


That would mean if I planted a fresno in Sacramento it would be a Sacramento pepper.

Phuck it, let's just make salsa. :cheers:

no jalapeno's in any of the pics and the one with the longer peppers could be a fresno. 
You mean the second type of peppers, or the first ones? The second ones are cayenne... or so I thought. I think they´re too long to be fresno. I was thinking the first ones could be.

Wiri wiri points up. How hot are they
Not sure yet, I was waiting them to ripe before I try them. Will do soon. BTW, they could be wiri wiri indeed... except for the fact that they seem to turn yellow at some point, and these ones don´t. But of course it could be some other variety. Now I see pictures, they really look similar.

Growth of no 1 is not a Xalapeño.
Yeah, there seems to be consensus regarding that. No jalapeño points up. On the other hand, the seed clustering is much more jalapeño look-alike than fresno, so... I´m clueless.

Hahahahaha, yeah, in the end, that´s what it comes about  :P .
 
If from Mexico,might be Cascabel.
They start out upright,then turn pendant.
Some are upright-I'm into Land Race stuff...
 
The one you guys think is Cayenne might be several Mexican standards.
Guajillo,and similar types.
I doubt they are Cayenne.
 
Were the seeds you grew supposed to be Pure?
 
As a side note-see the tip of some pods.
Usually that is caused by a fault in the bud or whatever.
As posted many times,early pods might be different.
Also conditions might bring out a bunch of plant variations or whatever.
 
The upturned pointed Jalapeno looking ones resemble a pepper I grew from Mexico called Bomberro.
I got Upturned pods on some plants and pendant ones on others.
I thought it was because the pods were dried and sent to me from Mexico-not isolated,Street market stuff.
Might be Landrace seeds.
 
Both pods produced the same tasting pods in heat and looks.
 
They put out Tons of Mini Jalapinos.
I think they were either a Hybrid or that I got 2 versions of a landrace variety.
