Oops - wrong bamboo?

So I posted a while ago about losing new shoots on one of my Lakos. And now looking at the photo & comparing the shoot to the Lako shoot coming up from another plant in the ground, I’m starting to think the 2 in pots aren’t Lakos at all. So the story behind them is I got them for almost nothing from a guy on Craigslist - 2 15G pots with black bamboo much bigger than I ever see in nurseries. He said they were Lako & they have green striped black culms but the shoots are really hairy. Do you thing these are G atroviolacea instead? This isn’t great as I’m in 8b & I thought the Lakos would be hard enough.
