As an update to my original post, BR did send me a replacement fig for the Panache that was really a VdB. Too bad it also is NOT a Panache. I called them, emailed them, no response.
Last summer Home Depot was selling Panache so I bought a beautiful looking tree. It too is NOT a Panache. The fruit did ripen and were excellent so I didn't return it. ;-) It's a green fig with dark red pulp. Maybe the HD is a Reverse?
I finally found a real Panache at a local nursery this month and it's the biggest tree I have, a good 4 1/2'-5'. It had 1 fruit on it and I can see the striping on the limbs so I know this one is real. Finally!
