This is that aforementioned "mystery" Amorphophallus. Any thoughts? The splotches are from water that had dripped down onto the plant from another container on a shelf above; that drip has since been rectified, but they have nothing to do with the plant variety itself.
Leaves look Bulbifer .....stem looks konjac.
Any telltale signs of a bulbil on the stems.?
When small and immature these plant will look somewhat similar
Once the plant recieves better growing conditions and full sun the look of the plant will change.
The color of the stem will give a better idea once it changes......It should go from less pink to mottled green with a hint of pink and small bumps as it matures.

I do not have current stock with foliage to compare it with.( still dormant)
Too young to tell.....
But if pressed for an answer.....bulbifer.
If your vendor was selling Konjac there could be a chance you got bonus seed.
