great fig. what is it?

Hello.  I have been lurking on here for a while now and am finally getting around to posting.  I just recently found a fig tree in my neighborhood that has great figs on it and I want to know if anyone can tell me what kind it is.  The owner didnt know what kind it was, just that it came from her country.  We zone 6b but close to the 7a line and it looks to have been in the ground for a long time without protection since its pretty large.  they have a closed eye but quite a few of the figs are split on the tree, im assuming due to some cold nights lately but there are still plenty that are ripening.  I wasted a few early picking some that I thought were ripe but still had a ways to go as they seem to be best when a little over ripe.  they are very clean tasting.  they can be a deep deep red inside, they are not too rich but can be very sweet and have a very berry taste to them.  heres a few pics.  if I need to take a few more pictures I can.  so, what say you?

I don't know but anytime it's green with red inside I always guess Ischia Green/Verte, especially if it is a late ripening tree.

Close ups of a few different types of leaves always helps.
