I thought the swirling patterns and the color would be the same, but still, I too believe that it is always the same type of fruit. And yes, it's not easy, and not common knowledge. Besides, the balck curtain could have just been a diversion not to let everyone see that Teach had learned how to steal a DF with just a normal fruit... although this is merely speculation, and it is unlikely he had brought any type of fruit with him.
