Lemon drop is Capsicum baccatum and has distinctively coloured flowers, unlike C. annuum. As you say, the pods are quite wrong. The leaves do not look like C. chinense, so I think C. annuum is safest. How big are the pods? There is a surprisingly large number of chilli varieties. Size of pod, colour when ripe, and heat level will help ID it.
They was given to me for fathers day 2 years ago and kids planted them, I have 2 of this one and 8 plants of another kind but they don't have any chilli's on them yet.
I think I have found the plant now, looks like I was wrong, they look to be Jalapeno peppers.

The first biggest pod on the plant is around 10cm long and 5cm wide its looks to be turning yellow.
The flowers look very white, no distinct yellow markings inside.
I know this is not a lot of help but I try and get some more photos soon, thanks for reply.
here some more photos, does it help?
Thanks for any help again
looks too big of a fruit to be a hot chili (the hotter they are the smaller they are!) where did you get the seed?
it might be a cross from a sweet pepper with a chili if its from a store bought chili that you've then used the seed from?
