What fig variety is this?? (we're in Australia)

It would be great if you could help us identify this fig we are growing.

Just picked the above bunch in the rain and we have about 4-5 varieties (5 trees) in total and this one seems to hold better in the rain than the others - it seems to ripen BEFORE it starts to open, rather than during or after, comparatively at least!

It definitely isn't the same as our Brown Turkey tree, and doesn't seem to be Black Genoa either - it's very fat and round - it looks a bit like the picture captioned 'Black Mission' at this page but after google image'ing 'black mission' it looks like they got that wrong!

So we're very confused - basically, the nursery we bought it from seems to have mislabelled it or it got lost in translation somewhere between them and their supplier.

We're in Australia.

Thanks for your help!
