Thunbergia mysorensis or not?

Please help me identify this lost label vine!

I was given cuttings several years ago of a blooming plant that was definitely Thunbergia mysorenis.

Lost labels, two hurricanes, no place to control invasive vines, etc.


Fast forward to today when I am hoping to  plant what I thought was a Thunbergia mysorensis.

In fact just after I sunk it into the ground I thought perhaps I should use Google to try to verify its identity.

Now I am not so sure what it is!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Tough call at this point Cindy.. Hastate leaf shape of leaves in the last picture is throwing me off since most pictures i can find ( iNaturalist ) show Mysore ( and it's smaller-flowered  look-alike, T. coccinea ) having obovate, oblong, or somewhat elliptic shaped leaves.. a few pictures do show some hastate-like characteristics though.

Leaf shots of T. grandiflora,  Blue / Bengal Clock vine )  do show more hastate-shaped characteristics overall..

Would let it grow out and see what happens.. No doubt there, it will reveal it's true identity fairly quickly ...faster than most other places in the states anyway.

Thanks so much Silas Sancona!

After I posted here I thought to text the woman (since moved to FL) who gave me the cuttings. She responded and thinks my plant is T. mysorenis. 
 

So fingers crossed…

Thank you so much Johnnymak! I really appreciate your response and photo showing that the leaves on my vine are identical.
