Cleistocactus or Echinopsis thelegonoides?

A lady was selling this on Facebook as a cutting so I grabbed two.

I assumed a Cleistocactus such as something similar to C fieldianus or C dependens, but I saw a picture of Echinopsis thelegonoides a few days ago and now have no idea.

For example: https://trichocereus.net/trichocereus-t ... ch-rowley/

Of course, if it flowers I will know, but it hasn't yet, and probably won't for a while as it's still growing its roots.

Reminds me Borzicactus or Cleistocactus. Not Trichocereus.
