Aji Type?

Seeds were gifted me and marked Jay's Red Ghost Scorpion. 
 
Its a mild to Medium heat pepper, plant is a big bushy Aji type looks to me.  Pods are crunchy and firm with a bit of sweetness.

Could be Dedo de Moca if it's actually a C. baccatum.  Are the flowers white and yellow?

I am revisiting this thread to post another pic.  All pods are starting to look like this now, the first couple ripe one picture above were contorted.  So I thought I would share the more uniform looking pod shapes.  Its very big also, fits across my palm.

Dedo de moca is my best guess, that's definitely a C. baccatum

I have some more pictures to share.  These peppers are quite large so not sure if they are Dedo De Moca, could they also be Aji Colorado?

The coloration matches Dedos, and most of them I've grown have been around 3-4" but not quite that wide.  I've never had Aji Colorado so I don't really have anything to go by with those.  Looks like a good baccy whatever they are :)

Thx Helvete, much appreciated.  Its a fantastic pepper so I will grow again for sure. 
 
The size and health of the peppers may just be the beneficiary of Rabbit poop I amended to soil when planting.  I grow mostly in 5 gallon buckets so I filled my buckets 3/4 of the way up then layered an inch of rabbit poop and finished filling with soil and the plant. 
 
 
cheers

I'ver grown the Yellow Amarillo and the Orange, and to me this chili is not an Amarillo.  It went straight from green to red, never a hint of another color. 
 
Is there such a thing as a Red Amarillo pepper? 
 
 
If Ajijoe says they are Amarillo I guess its possible they are some kind of cross? 
 
 
Its a really fantastic pepper though, I am growing agin next year for sure!
