Is this a Trinidad Seasoning pepper?

I picked these up at the market here in Orlando. It's a sweet pepper, was labeled as such. i found a pack that had 2 red ones, so I saved deed from them. I know my buddie at the hydro store has some growing, just waiting for the next round to get ripe.

I have 6 plants of those buddy, my puerto rican wife uses them all the time. They call them Ajicitos, ie aji dulce, same thing. For some reason the puerto ricans dont tend to let them ripen to red. most Sofrito recipes call for green ones. I would venture to guess that is because when ripe they still cary a hint of heat in them. Just like Trinidad and Tabago seasoning peppers when ripe. Yummy, yummy right off the plant BTW.

I believe they could also be called aji cachucha or rocotillo depending on who you ask or depending on the peppers origin.
