Japanese tree peony confusion - with pictures

I think I've finally identified my mislabeled tree peony. I found it as a 1 gal. 'Kamata Nishiki' plant at a local nursery. Clearly, it is not, as 'Kamata Nishiki' does not have dark flares.



After much research, I have identified it as 'Ofujinishiki' or 'Ofuji-Nishiki'. However, some sources state that 'Ofujinishiki' is another name for 'Shimane Chojuraku.' I have found only 1 place on the Web with photos of both, & I can't decide which 1 it is. The flower color looks more like 'Shimane Chojuraku'



but the outside petals look like 'Ofujinishiki'



I wish I was fluent in German, as this site is in German.
