pod Supposed to be Cubanelle. Cajun Belle?

The plant on the right is a mystery.  The starter was labelled 'Cubanelle', but the other Cubanelle I bought really is a Cubanelle, and this is not.  For reference, the plant to the left is a Scotch Bonnet.  The faux Cubanelles vary in heat (some are medium+ hot while others have almost no heat), but have a spicy flavor - not as spicy as I remember Cajun Belles, but leaning in that direction.
 
After growing many mislabeled starters this year, I'll do only seeds next year.
 
Any ideas?

They are thicker-walled than a habanero or Scotch Bonnet.  Heat varies but flavor is generally like a watered-down Cajun Belle (slightly sweet and spicy).  They ended up being very useful peppers - great for egg scrambles - as they add some good flavor but don't have too much heat.
