Could those be Panache cuttings?

I got a few cuttings from an unknown fig. They look like Panache to me. 

What do you think? 
Thanks,

The 3rd picture surely shows that these are Panache cuttings unless some other varieties exhibit similar patterns on the wood. I had received mine a year ago from a reliable source and they looked like the ones in picture #3 to the right.
On close look, some cuttings in the other two pictures also look like Panache with the same colour patterns on the cuttings.

The 3rd picture is a close up of 2 cuttings from the 2nd picture.

I'd have to agree that they're Panache. Nice find!

Most likely Panache. I have seen some striping on a couple other varieties, but it is usually more subtle. Conversely, if there are no stripes on first years growth, it is not the real deal.

There are striping on young wood  


and even on the thickest cutting I have which is 3/4 in in diameter.

On this cutting I can see where it was trimmed and where the new shoot started and both wood has striping on it. I do not know if it can be seen well from the picture.

I am going with Panache also.
Make sure you have a lot of heat as Panache needs a lot of heat units to ripen fruits. Depending on your location you might have to extend your seasons with a greenhouse.
