My last insigne still in flower late this year, this plant originates from Veitch in the late 1880s and was widely distributed in the early UK orchid scene. In many early RHS awards the clones used as parents are noted, and insigne 'Chantinii' appears frequently. There is an insigne sanderae 'Chantinii' as well, which is in the Lindenia, and which I thought I was getting when I bought this. Oh well...

looks like a plant & flower that hold up after all this time...

Eagerly awaiting some photos of your complex paphs this winter!
 
Could this also be insigne chantinii?

No, this is not Paphiopedilum insigne 'Chantinii'.
It is most probably Paph. Monsieur de Curte (insigne x boxallii), but that's just a suggestion.
I think, this might be an appropriate suggestion. Another guess might be Paph. Nitens (P. insigne x P. villosum)....... I would exclude a pure P. insigne.
