breeding Carolina reaper devils tongue cross pollination

Anyone seen a cross pollination of Carolina reaper and devils tongue? This season I planted some seeds from a carolina reaper I saved from last year. Last year my Carolina reaper was planted next to devils tongue.

What I thought was Carolina reaper growing this season, the peppers are not reaper. They have the shape of devils tongue but has a tip like reaper. And the color is a bright orange. (I was really late at planting seeds this year, so I'm a few months late).
 
Here is a picture. Havent tried one yet, plan to this weekend.

Update. Picked that pepper and took a few bites. Definitely more devils tongue than reaper. Still had that citrus fruity flavor but the heat was up there. Not as hot as reaper. Think this will make some amazing hot sauce!
