Regular Orange Hab or a cross?

I just did my usual stroll by at the supermarket pepper section and found these, what do you think, just regular habs coming out a little freaky, or a cross with something else?

Here's a shot from the bottom so you can see the shape:

They look a bit too elongated and convoluted to be a pure orange hab, might be something else they relabled for marketing purposes or they just don't know what it is (neither do I).
 
We buy a box of orange habs every other day at my work, it's weird... Sometimes they're picture perfect orange hab color and shape, other times they're long, oddly shaped, scorpion shaped, or just plain huge. Funny thing is, they always come from the same supplier in Mexico...

:crazy:

Hows the taste?
