Are these Carolina reapers

No, you can't really ID a reaper from the seeds. You would have to grow them out and see. Reaper seeds that I know to be legit can be found here: http://pepperlover.com/pepper-seeds/heal-leve/world-hottest/reaper-detail and of course here: http://store.puckerbuttpeppercompany.com/collections/stupit-hot-seeds/products/smokin-eds-carolina-reaper

If the source is reputable I'd imagine the seeds would be legit

Yep, this is the key. I'm not familiar with the vendor who sold you those seeds, maybe someone else can comment on that. But before I spend several months growing seeds out, I like to know the seeds came from a reliable source. The Vendor Vault here can help a lot with that  :)

Contact Ed Currie at Pucker butt pepper co and ask him if he has authorized Waylandchiles.com to sell his seed. You will note that the seed package is marked Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper.
Labeled as such is protected by copyright and needs to be authorized by Ed.

If you want to take the time, what Capcom said is right on.  They are using the trademark name, so they should be supervised / contracted by Puckerbutt.  Thing is, the pepper is now common enough that the number of scams are few.  Grow them out and see what you got.

According to their listing, "[SIZE=14pt]Wayland Chiles is a licensed distributor of Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper."[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=14pt]I have to wonder why one would buy from them rather then Puckerbutt, when Puckerbutt is cheaper.[/SIZE]

I check the site. those are some of the worst looking reapers I have seen. most look nothing like reapers. many look more like Butch T's or morugas and even brainstrains. The desired phenos are just not there.

Cheri, it is a weird thing.  First noticed it at Pepper Joe.  Licensed dealers seem to sell Puckerbutt stuff for more than Puckerbutt.
