I can’t remember the guys full name, Michael Poilain or something close, travel writer and chef, but he had a piece saying there’s no discernible difference and all poppies can be opium producers
Aside from the argument as to whether they are somniferum or rhoeas, there’s something not quite right about this photo. You almost never see so many poppies so close together and all blooming simultaneously. And the blooms look almost too perfect

The center of those is wrong i dont think this photo is real. The developing pod in the center of the flowers would be round with a little cap on it, not segmented. Those centers look closer to nastertium seeds than poppy pods. Dosent look like somniferum or rhoeas
