Naga for I.D

Picked this Naga up from one of my local Bengali shop's today. Not sure which type it is but i'm guessing its a Naga Morich. Any idea's??
 

 
The flesh was very firm and crunchy, and as you can probably see it was also very crinkly and knobbly. I ate the chilli as it was, its heat was intense but nothing compared to a Dorset Naga but hotter then a Habanero... due to it only being partially ripe I wasn't expecting it to be blistering. 
 
Some times the local Bengali shops have smaller and more slender naga's which are less firm & crunchy.

Not too sure that its a pure Naga Morich all mine and ones I have seen don't have the crinkly wrinkles like the one In the pic. Shape is all there like one though. Im guessing maybe cross bhut/ morich??? only a guess still a very nice looking pod.
 
It being firm and crunchy would prob be from it being really under ripe

I suppose it could be cross. I'm not sure they care to much to be honest as a naga is a naga to them. :fireball:
 
The naga in my profile picture is one of the thinner skinned, smoother & slender types they get in. I'm thinking that they are probably more bhut.
 
Also the one I ate today and the one in my profile pic seem to ripen to an orange colour??... my Dorset naga went from green to black to red. I think the black though was maybe sunburn.
