Anyone know anything about Armageddon Peppers?

I grew out 2 plants of Armageddon peppers this year.  I had a lot of difficulty finding any information on this variety, and none of the sites I purchased seeds from list it.  The best I could find was this 6 year old thread (which includes a comment that ironically says to give them 6 years due to being unstable): http://thehotpepper.com/topic/39525-armageddon/.   They thread is about a Douglah x Naga cross that reached F2 in 2012.
 
However, the pictures in that thread look pretty different than what I'm growing.  This vendor is selling 7 pot Armageddons, and the pictures look a lot more like one of my plants: https://pepperseeds.ca/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1338
 
For reference, here's the chocolate variety that's closer to what I was expecting (sorry if the pictures are rotated):

Here's the one I'm a bit more excited about... a mustard variety:

I'm not good at judging heat, but these are not as hot as I expected.  I'd put them somewhere between habanero and ghost.

Anyone familiar with these?  Does anyone else have a mustard variety?
 
Original variety was from was from a company called Rainbow Seed Company owned by an old friend named Vladan.  He used to be a member here and made a lot of crosses.  It was an interesting super hot, but far, far from being stable.  He would release most stuff at F2 so no stabilization occurred on what was sold.  The original was chocolate when ripe. 
 
Unfortunately, I think he may no longer be in business.  He got away from all forums several years ago.
