This is really hard to determine without the backstory. All of this is merely speculation.
Well, I can give a little backstory ...
Got the seeds out of this pod I was given to taste, thats what the nibble holes are from. pod was about same size as pic in op. Seed viability was almost 100% and seedlings took off great right from the get go. Started in organic seed starter outside and transferred to a peat/perlite/worm casting/org Dr Earth fert/eggshells based mix in fabric pots. Sprayed regularly with neem, bottom water mostly, and very sparsely fertilized with organic liquid fert 10-3-6...

"The pods starts out dark green then turns orange suddenly in a couple days"
Is NOT the SOP of Aji Amarillo. The Amarillos I have grown do not ripen suddenly or in a couple days, rather it is a long agonizing frost-susceptible ripening process that, though well worth it, can take over a month to finish. I still have Amarillos ripening on the vine that started turning in late October.
There are many similar, though, some that even use the name Amarillo....it's a color, afterall...
Let me try and be more specific than my above quote...
They turn from flower to pod and are dark green as in my below pic. They stay dark green(unlike my SRP) just growing bigger. The orange pod in first post of thread stayed dark green for over a month, probably closer to 6 weeks, then 1 day saw a little orange on the pod. Within a couple/few days it was all orange.

It looks somewhat like a Sugar Rush Peach.
Well, got what are suppose to be SPR also. The red circled pods are from a SRP plant next to, and on a hanging branch behind the orange pod plant. Can't see it in the pic but the SRP are mostly all longer/thicker, about 3-4"L x 1"W with a bent creased look, pointy tail on many.
The SRP I have(about 6 plants from seed) all have light green almost translucent pods to start with that turn slowly and consistently to lighter and lighter pale green over months till they are a pale yellowish/peach color. I've left them on the plant for months waiting for them to turn more peachy, a long agonizing unproductive wait for most of them. The ones circled in the pic have probably been on the plant for 2+ months.
They seem to stay hard forever and have a very citusy sweet flavor with little heat to me. My SRP pods heat builds slow and leaves quickly. My early Jala are hotter to me for sure. But the this strain of my SRP do have a very nice low heat baccitum flavor imo.
Not sure if this info will help at all....
