My Gm has wide open petioles all the way from the first to the last... Same with 3640... Actually, those would be more difficult to tell apart, yet there are differences. For instance, 3640 is stockier and has a deeper green to it's leaves, those can be difficult to tell in pics.

Anyway, my main point wasn't petioles, but that someone who has grown a certain type for a few years should be able to look at the pics spoken of and say, "I am about 80% sure it is such and such." and actually have an 80% chance of being correct. But, even more so, my point is that if I have grown GM for a few years I should be able to look at those pics and tell you if it definitely is not GM with near 100% certainty for certain varieties, such as VC or Namwah. Sure, telling if it is Cav or GM from 3 pics is going to be more difficult and much less accurate.
Being able to identify what it is not is part of finding a correct ID.
