Speaking of Fig leaves, ID requested

The attached photo is of a Fig tree that was given to me last year, named "Bryce" after the owners of the parent tree.  The person who gave it to me knew nothing about the Figs it produces.

In my collection of about 25 varieties, this leaf shape is unique.  Until it bears its first crop, leaf shape is all I can show.

Any idea what variety it is?

Hello, Bob

 

I have a tree with a similar leaf pattern. We both know that it's almost impossible to identify a fig merely by it's leaf shape, but here's a shot in the dark. I discovered this tree growing nearby. I initially named it Unknown Coronado after the street it is located on, but am almost convinced it is identical to UCD's Archipel. It only produces 5-lobed, cordate, spatulate leaves. The eye can be small and open or small and closed. The meat can vary from light strawberry to amber. Here are pics. Good luck!
