chinense Moruga Scorpion??

This year, I am growing some Butch T that I purchased from Mr. Taylor.  The photos on his web site look notably different from what the classic image is.  I figure years of culling make his seeds kind like Butch T Improved.  Kind of cool to grow both, looking forward to tasting them side by side. 

That in mind, I am curious to know what folk think of this moruga scorpion.  It does not seem to be the shape that I have been culling for.  Thoughts?  Still call it Moruga Scorpion?

Every pods on plant looks like this new shape, or only these two pods has this different shape?
I do not know.  Not my plant.  Photo is from a seed catalog.

Not growing it this year but not the shape of Jim Duffy's world record pods.
No it is not. It does not look like and Moruga Scorpion I have seen.  And yet, it is in a very popular seed catalog as an example of what you will grow if you buy the moruga scorpion seeds they sell.
