caribbean?

I'm pretty sure this plant was from the pepperjoe "Caribbean Blend" pack, but it doesn't look like any that are listed, as far as I can tell. The leaves don't look chinense.
 
CARIBBEAN CHILI AND HABANERO BLEND
"HOTTEST PEPPER BLEND AVAILABLE ON THE PLANET" What a Great Mixture of Caribbean Red, Orange Scotch Bonnet, Chiletepin, Habanero, Brown Congo and more. Hot! Hot! Hot! And what a value by purchasing them all together. Makes great hot sauces.You decide what is the Hottest Chili Pepper in this exclusive blend.
 
When ripe, they are a nice deep red. I can't remember the heat level of the first (and only) one I've consumed so far because I was eating other hot stuff at the time. There's not much consistency between the pod shapes.

First pepper was around 1.75" long x almost as much wide (the others below this one are smaller):

Any ideas what this is?
 
a baccatum species poss bishops crown, im with Armac
 
the cylex tells me its not a Caribbean and thus not a Chinense
also the leaves aren't typical Chinense
 
I harvested one today. Here it is (left) pictured next to a red habanero (right) and a quarter:

Here is the inside (left) compared to the red habanero's (right). The walls are noticeably thinner than the hab's.

The taste was rather pleasant. It definitely does not taste like a habanero. To me it kind of tasted like a fresno pepper or a sweeter red bell pepper with less bite. The heat level seems around the upper end of cayennes, maybe even a little hotter, but it was definitely less than the habanero (which I tasted right after).
