Karen, have you checked the epidermis color to be sure it's clear ( pink) or yellow ( red), and used a known red and a known pink as controls?
Atually I don't know how confirming the color will help b'c there are now close to 15 K varieties known and now probably 7-9 K available to the public.
So there's absolutely no way that you'll find a known variety that matches what you show b'c there are just too many and no pictures for most of them.
If you have no way of finding anything else about it and don't know anyone else growing it, it looks like you're going to have to name it yourself, which is something I've had to do many times.
Is there any way you can find out the elderly man's name?
Do you at least know what village or town or city he lives in?/
How and from whom did you receive the seeds?
BTW, there's a variety called Sophie's Choice, seeds were sent to a woman in CA, she sent then to Barry in CA, he told me about it and sent me seeds, I asked him to name it and he deferred to the woman in CA who first received the seeds from Edmonton and she's the one who named it Sophie's Choice.
