Can anyone help identify this large in ground fig in Nashville, TN?

I found a large in ground fig here in Nashville, TN. It has different leaves than the varieties I am familiar with (which isnt a lot).

It also has some breba crop fruit on the old wood and has some tiny main crop starting to form on the new growth. It seems to be highly productive. Sorry I do not have a picture of the fruit it produces, it we can't identify it by the leaves I will try to go back and get a couple of figs from it for pictures - or to just show them on here if it isn't a common variety.

Possibly a verns brown turkey, I have an unknown variety I think is VBT that looks mostly like yours, it has more pronounced thumbs though.

It could also be a Brunswick.

Looks just like my Brunswick.

Thanks for the heads up, hopefully when a fw of the figs ripen on it I can snap a few pictures to see if that helps any more in identifying it.

I know the VBT and the Brunswick are supposed to have a similar taste, is there a way to tell the fruits apart on them? The Brunswick has a larger open eye correct?
