Late ripening Unk variety

This is an in ground the Strickland Unk which had a couple of figs on the verge of ripening but the cold weather is here to stop the process. The unripe figs were still surprisingly sweet. So any guesses on the actual variety.

Hard to say, sort of looks like a NdA, but i think the leaves are wrong.
Any info on how it got there?
It was gifted to me when I bought several trees from a GA seller in 2023. He was fanatically into growing figs during the COViD lockdown and bought cuttings from Figaholics. The unk was not happy at all in a pot and with all of my unks, I usually don’t give them my fullest attention and/or care which means they are planted in ground. It’s now a happy fig tree but we’ll see how cold hardy it is this winter. I was surprised that it still had ripening figs even when blocked by taller potted trees.
