At a guess Chewy I would say they are a Habanero of some shape or form, maybe Paper Lantern , but most likely this One
They definately wont be naga heat levels, the smoothness of the pod itself is a give away, and they will certainly have a more fruity taste, making it a lot more edible and perfect for a Jalfrezi type curry, although I would still prefer the naga in mine  ;)

You could turn them into Bonsai plants Naga, its what Im planning to do next year.

Overwintering would be a great Idea, giving you an early start next season and enough time to get the fruit ripe.
I overwintered a naga plant the other year, by the time it was warm enough to put plants in the greenhouse it was massive! Struggled to get it through the door

Had a slow start here too, but the recent heatwave has really brought my plants on but still need a good few weeks of sun to ripen them up.
Are yours in a greenhouse Keith?
Climate and watering are key to a good crop, ideally temps shouldnt drop below 16C, impossible in Britain really, and over-watering slows growth. I always water fom the bottom which encourages the roots to grow down. Also I gently shake the plants a couple of times a day to help the plants polinate.

It's a bit like train surfing or eating magic mushrooms. .

I have no idea on train surfing but the magic of magic mushrooms may well be beneficial in more ways than one according to the BBC
