C. dimorpha has clubbed teeth on the labellum side lobe, and the calli are mostly white with just a touch of purple at the tip.

Tony what image / information might you need to confirm this identification as C.moschata?

The side lobes of the labellum in C. moschata are entire, ie without teeth; to see this properly you need a close-up view of the flower from the side (the bottom left flower in your image appears to show this). Also, on warm days the flowers have a strong musky smell (hence the name moschata).
