From BR specimen:

There seems to be mostly one central spine.

The longest spine is not always placed as a central but if considering the longest spines to BE centrals then there are mostly 2 per areole.

Spines are mostly darker tipped. Some have VERY dark bases.

New spines are rarely entirely brown- if they are it is much darker than chestnut colored.

Some do have chestnut brown but this is mostly tips and a few bases.

The longest spine is occasionally directed downward.

Very light transverse depressions but no distinct furrow.  (It IS swollen above the areole slightly)

Some areoles have faint and short v-marks.

There are 7 ribs.

No areole approaches 1 cm but this tip cutting is still only a couple inches in diameter.
