Cacao: Trinitario, Forastero or Criollo?

Hi,

I was given a cacao pod today by a kind person at the Eden Project. It had fallen off the tree and the seeds inside had already germinated. The beans/developing seed leaves were purple in colour. I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me what variety it looks like.

Thanks in advance :)

The tag on the tree, perhaps the code indicates the variety?
