Interesting looking trichocereus ID request

Question

I'm hoping for an ID on an interesting trichocereus that came my way recently from a garden in rural SA.

The owner said it has white flowers and that they have an interesting "cupping" shape to them. I didn't quite get what he meant by that though...

This one has thrown me a bit, it looks to be aligned with peruvianus somehow but seems to have spination that reminds me of candicans on early growth, (wide spread, thin radials), and also santaensis with the redness of the fresh spines.

Thoughts?

great find! well done =)

those new pups sure dont want to be stood on by those pesky llama, alpaca and foxes, among others do they. wowza. Hoping to get to Bolivia myself in year or two. I mean, it's one of those places you just have to go to isnt it.
