My mom bought this she was told it was a Rajapuri i dont think Rajapuri has red on the p steam i might be wrong the leaves look diffrent but the colors of the p steam look the same.

That's what I was seeing ,the leaves on D.Red grow more erect not droopy. I think it's two different plants

the one I have looks just like your plant it has red in the stem and in the center of the leaves but I bought it as pysang ceylon it may not be what I bought. so we both may find out something from this thread.

it has a slight maroon tint under the leaves more of a gray maroon color, and maroon stems down the center of the leaves.

This does look like Dwarf Red to me also.
Never trust the label if you are not confident about the source.
I got an African Rhino Horn marked as a Raja Puri once.
