I have had some avocadoes that were supposedly "kampong" that looked like that. This year I'm going to get a chance to try some that are from a tree that is definitely kampong, so I will respond here once I do.
Very common in Hawaii and many parts of SE Asia

I can't remember where I got my budwood.

This is my Kampong 2014These are 2022This from 2018
I realize that, but the farmer I got it from is an expert in tropical fruit so I feel pretty confident it is Kampong. It has the "walnut" flavor you describe and a very thick skin as well.
