I had first been concerned the Labellum apex was not dark red coloured enough then I noticed there are only 2 rows of calli where almost all of these different caps have 4 rows or even 6. With only 'Fingers' having just 2 rows. The dorsal sepal also does not seem to hood the labellum sufficiently. The apex of the dorsal sepal in C. cucullata usually extends well past the labellum with labellum apex strongly recurved. I am not sure what these are as they may be just a variant or also some hybrid, but they are not typical C. cucullata.
