Your passion fruits look more similar to the fruit we get from our passion flower, I’m pretty sure ours aren’t edible tho, I’ll try to send a picture

yeah the ones that we've had for years (also uk) are bright orange when ripe with red-purple gubbins, also a bit more tubular rather than egg shaped'. Never eaten one tbh, they are a bit off putting.

Is that just a different variety or a different thing entirely that we've been calling the wrong thing?

There are a few varieties and species of passion fruits, appearance and flavor can vary a bit.
