Citrumelo Swingle5* (from Bernhardt Voss nursery).
Apparently very different fruit form.

Can you post a pic of the leaves and the bark Laaz?
I need to check how they look like.

According to B.Voss, Swingle5* is a very vigorous seedling of Swingle.
I do not have a regular one, but Swingle5* is completely hardy in my climate ( no damage after -16C). Fruits look like small grapefruits, taste of sour grapefruit, practically no influence of poncirus, but some presence of mild, not unpleasant oil in the juice.
I personally think that it is a zygotic self-pollinated descendant of Swingle (F2).
Laaz, it would be very instructive if you can post a picture of regular Swingle leaves.

Thanks a lot Laaz,
The leaves are very similar in proportions, but clearly Swingle5* lacks the edged rim. I found an interesting paper on zygotic seedlings of Swingle, astonishing variability in leaf shape.

Yes it is true, my plants will sometimes have 5 leaves.

It seems simple leaves are omitted in the pictures, Laaz.
don't you have some " monofoliates " among the trifoliates leaves.

I'm still trying to identify one of my two Citrange it looks like yours.
Simple leaves are in high majority into mine.
They aren't dented at all though.

No they don't produce mono, but many times produce quadrifoliate or more.
