I think Mike T posted photos of the same fruit a few days ago trying to ID it. Doesn't look like any canistel i've ever seen here, but it's possible.

Yes he did Oscar but didn't get any ID so hopefully someone might know this time

It's definitely a Canistel and the variety could be Aurea, which is known for the elongated fruits.
