Hi.
I remind you that you have only seen few photos of my Ortega-BD, while I have grown her out many times in different shapes and sizes, so believe me when I say it resembles the US Ortega and is clearly related.
The Afghani in Northern Lights look quite different, more like a classic short BLD afghani. Check out photos of MrNice NL5/NL1 line to see the difference to the Ortega type
Growing style affects the shape of buds. When you top the plant few times and grow many colas on it, the tops/leaves are usually thinner. But yes, the tops on the US Ortega are slightly rounder than on my plant but to my eye it’s still quite a slender plant, the US clone, not a short BLD Afghani.
The Ortega from Maple Leaf-afgahi was a “type” not just one cutting, there were males and females. And cause the Maple Leaf-afghani was a hashish cultivar, there would be traits from other hash plant types to be found in the different Ortega-plants, so it is expected different Ortega-plants could have slight differences to each other, like many OG Kush hybrids are abit different to each other but still clearly OG Kush genetics.
..and my Ortega pheno came out of Black Domina in which the Ortega-15 female was crossed with an Afghani line Nevil got from Sam Skunkman (Afghani SA as Sensi puts it) so my Ortega-pheno isn’t 100% pure as the US Ortega is, which came straight out of Maple Leaf stock.
But enough of this. If you don’t want to believe my plant is an Ortega leaning BD then fine. It shares similar hashy terp profile as some Super Skunk plants do, as the Afg-T Nevil used in SS also came from the Maple Leaf-line, so I know what I have. It also has very crispy resin, which drops off very easily if you bump the plant too hard, just like Nevil said the Ortega-types do.
Terps of my Ortega-BD:
Hashy, ginger bread cookie spices, blueberry/berries, notes of sweet apricots/peach, notes of green apple.
The effect is somewhat similar to some blueberry-afghanis; the effect isn’t full on couch lock and has that “bliss”-quality that some of the best afghanis have. ..thou I believe Ortega-type is Uzbek-genetics originally, not pure afghani.

I don’t have room to pop the last five BD seeds I have in near future, but I had two broadleaf types that look similar to your plants in veg but they were males so I didn’t bloom them. I had another abit thinner leaf-pheno male but it wasn’t the Ortega-type. It had lighter green leaves and abit lemony stem rub smell. Low yielding, even lower yielding than the Ortega type.
Peace.
