Is this a possibile chimera? Pepper grafting

The first picture is of the scion in question, the second is of the plant I got the scion from, the third is what typical Mattapeno x Mutant Variegation looks like.

So, I grafted a young heavily variegated pepper scion, a cross of (Dreamcatcher x Black Pearl) x (Bleeding Rawit White x Oda), onto a variegated rootstock, a youmg Mattapeno x Mutant, which usually has strong sectoral variegation and broad leaf shape (when not exhibiting filiform leaf mutation).

The scion’s original plant has a mottled, scattered variegation pattern, and after the graft took that seemed to stay the same until I topped it. After THAT the new growth is much more similar to the rootstock, now sectoral with large, clean blocks of cream, white, and light & dark green, while still starting to blush purple on the white and cream, consistent with the scions genetics

The scion’s usual speckled pattern is totally gone from this grafted growth
I'm wondering if this could be a periclinal chimera, or if Im just seeing things… idk
Anyone seen something like this happen in peppers before?

Please lmk your thoughts
