Guess What Phrag This Is?

Bought this Phrag at our spring show in spike. I don't think it is labeled
correctly.

mystery phrag

Some interesting guesses. The Tag says it is Phrag. China Dragon
(besseae (2N) x Grande 'Piping Rock (4N) ).
 
Any possibility that it's a China Dragon hybrid?

I ask because I know that after schlimii and besseae genes get diluted enough in a hybrid, their color and texture influence suddenly dissipate. I've seen this happen in hybrids like Phrag. Fedora Brochu (a schlimii hybrid), and noticed it in photos on here of some hybrids with besseae and schlimii far back in the parentage.

Of course, it seems pretty obviously mislabeled, so it may not be anything even close to China Dragon. But just a thought.
