Trichocereus sp?

Question

Found a very large branch of fallen over cactus today and grabbed two small branches from it. I'm kinda new to cactus and so was wondering if they could be a Trichocereus sp. and whether two branches with different amounts of ribs on the same cactus was common.

The weird thing is that these were both from the same branch. There were about three lots of cacti, all with at least 5 branches which were at least 1.5 up to about 3.5m tall. These two came from a branch that snapped and fell over the fence lol
