It doesn't look like either one to me. A tritip trimmed that lean would be hard to find over three pounds, 3.5 tops. Where they'd have cut the tail off a tri I believe would have been more square, that end comes to a point. Butchering seems to have got very creative over the years, with flat iron steaks, and 7-bones steaks, etc. It's all marketing, all that counts is if you like when it comes off the cooker, wasn't cheap.

Yeap. Color changed a lot.Is there a reason you don't want to dry a little longer? 45 days?
To long for such a small chunk of meat, need fridge space and i'm itchin to try this rub.
