The dorsal seems very off to me. Too big and the shape looks almost too much influence from species with large dorsal like callosum or lawrencaenum. Just my initial reactions upon seeing this flower.

I agree.

There was a recent batch of superbiens in EU that all flowered like this aka not superbiens.

Proportions, stance and color markings were all wrong. There were also wide variations in the flower shapes and colors.
 
I had the same issue - this is P. superbiens (wild) that was imported from an EU supplier. I did see somewhere Paul Phillips posted that these were well know in the EU and are definitely hybrids, maybe P Cymatodes. I think that this looks more like what I would expect from Goultenianum then Cymatodes.
