Looking for pics of Lattarola

I have a fig tree that I believe to be a Lattarola or Latarola. The figs are yellowish/green with light red/pink center. It has a good sweet flavor. I'm looking for pics of leaves and figs (whole and split open) that can help me ID it. There's not really any info on this fig that I can find. I know it's confused alot with Lattarula and White Marseilles. I had a few ripe figs but..... I sort of ate them before I got pictures. Couldn't help myself, they never even made it 2 feet from the tree. There's only a few more and I'm now in competition with some squirrels and chipmunks. I'm hoping to get a ripe one to get a picture of it.

Ed and Barry, Thanks for the pics. My tree was a transplant I got from someone who just wanted it removed from their yard. I planted it in the Fall so this is it's first year for figs for me. When I got the tree the figs on it were larger than they are this year, so I'm guessing it needs time to adjust. The inside no where near as dark as Ed's but slightly darker than Barry's. Could that just be from the growing conditions or is it a different variety? The picture below is the leaf from it last year with a fig that wasn't quite ripe, does it resemble your trees?

Tony,

 I think the leaf is similar. I stink at leaf ID I would have to go look at my tree and compare. My tree came from Ed so I know we have the same variety, so any differences between his and mine are location or culture.
