I suppose flower colour can depend on the age of the flowers, orange and yellow on this same plant. Also plants do vary, particularly new collections if not from the original clone:-

It does look more like arenacea than breviflora which supposedly gets it's name from short flowers.

I agree with Dan, arenacea, I have both sulco arenacea and breviflora and the breviflora has different spination and an overall different body shape (although as this ones grafted that doesn't mean too much here).
Also "small" and "large" flowers is subjective.
