Does anyone grow Eggplants aka Aubergine?

I'm trying to find any information about Louisiana Oblong Green Eggplant.
It looks and grows like Black Beauty but it's green and seeds are hard to find. I'm thinking this has to be some type of Italian eggplant but all the varieties I checked didn't grow this big.
 
I tried to find seeds last year and couldn't, I looked all over the web and nothing then I found one hardware store in Baton Rouge(60 miles away) that sells a few plants each year and was ready to take a trip to get plants.  My Aunt was here when they called me back saying that they would have some in a few weeks so she asked what I was looking for. A few hours later she comes back with a pill bottle of seeds and the original plant tag from years ago. She couldn't remember how old the seeds are and if they'll even grow. I planted and had almost 100% germination and gave plants away to spread the seeds
 
If anybody has any other information about this variety let me know.

It looks similar to thai eggplant. Is it the same perhaps?

It's not a Thai, it's more oblong. I looked again while researching Thai and found "Jade Sweet" that looks like it. It's from Australia and I don't know how it would end up here.

Another that's similar if "Little green eggplant" but it's listed smaller and grows single stem.

Next year i'm growing at least 6 different varieties. It will be a first for me.
 
When I order live plants I order from Chiliplants dot com. They also sell live eggplants. Here is a listing of their eggplants. Perhaps it's the "Applegreen"?
