Default Could it be a N. 'Jungle Bell' ?

I got this plant a couple of months back from the private collection of a grower in Cameron Highland. I didn't actually meet the guy, someone helped me get the plant.

It was IDed as a N. 'Red Lantern' and like I've said before, I was told I could find information on it off the net. But I've not been successful in doing so, the closes I got was a reference to 'red lantern' like pitcher which refers to N. x 'GardenTech'.

Further search led to Khoas offering of nepenthes seeds of N. ventricosa 'Hot Lips' x 'Jungle Bells', and I thought maybe Red Lantern = Jungle Bells.

Googled the photo and I came across the photo below at nepenthes-shop.com



And this is the pitcher of my plant, the leaves are the longish ones on the right. Please bear in mind the pitcher is quite immature - my first pitcher in fact.



So, friends, any idea what I have here? Any chance it's actually a N. 'Jungle Bells' or have you guys ever heard of a N. 'Red Lantern' or seen it's photo?

Thanks.
