I would say as long as we get email confirmation after stating our concerns, then we should be ok with either of these I would hope

Yep, those are the ones.

Genuine Kashmiris are anything but smooth-skinned, especially when dry.

Cheers S D , just been to my Indian store, they don't sell those. I'll wait until I need a full re-stock before I do an online order

After a little research and  reading a few articles, in particular this one ,http://cumbriankitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2006/08/kashmiri-chillies-real-or-imaginary.html
it seems we have all been duped.

Without going to Kashmir ourselves, there's no way of obtaining true kashmiri chillies.
What we are sold outside of the Indian province is most like a byadgi chilli.  :
