Just because fruit color, shape and size "grow true" does not mean that the peppers are OP.
Both parents of a hybrid can have very similar peppers but be different in any number of other traits that may be subtle (eg. disease resistance).
Since I can find over 5 reputable seed sellers that sell them as F1 hybrids, I think it is very likely they are.
Of course it could be a conspiracy between all of these seed companies, but personally, I doubt it.
I know there have been charlatans who have sold OPs as hybrids in the past, but I think many folks now are too quick to assume malfeasance when there is none.
