NMCPI (New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute) varieties like NuMex Earth Day and NuMex Black Prince (and others like NuMex Centennial etc) fit the description and match the growth habits in the photographs you provide.

They have alleles for purple leaves, upright fruit and are dwarf plants often found in flower-shops and supermarkets but are also excellent choices for edible ornamental landscaping.

The OP photo reminds me strongly of Earth Day.

However when horticulturalists purchase seed from NMCPI they often grown several varieties together in a greenhouse as a batch of ornamental peppers and cross pollination can occur, so seeds from the NuMex purple leaf dwarf ornamental plants does not always breed true and instead can produce grex or intermediate forms.

It appears to me that you have something along these lines.
