Yellow Moruga or Trinidad Scorpion

I have this Yellow Scorpion.The seeds were sold as Yellow Trinidad Moruga Scorpions.
From pics I have seen the Morugas have bumpy skin with a tail while mine are very smooth with no tail.
Can someone give me an overview of the differences?
 
This is my plant
 

 

 
 
To me they don't really look like either.  You are correct that moruga scorpions are supposed to be bumpy and have a short tail, but regular yellow scorpions also have a prominent tail.  This could just be natural variation from early pods though so it would be easier to tell on later pods once they mature and their color changes
