Yeah definitely looks like Pedro. From what I can see, it looks like they've been treated pretty well.
I'd guess that they're probably Backberg clones (the more common "strain").

Here is another pic of the cutting that I want to plant. How long should I wait before planting the cutting?
Can you plant a middle-section cactus cutting and expect it to give new growth?

The San Pedro I've consumed has been pleasantly potent.
But even so, I would recommend at least 1', but I honestly think 1.3' would be ideal for a first experience.

8 inches should be a very mild experience, you want to use at least 12 inches of pc pedro.

Depends on your weather, I had no problems cutting it up and drying in front of a fan.

Once it has calloused and you are ready to plant,
remember that the spines point upwards at about a 45 degree angle.
and ignore the jive about laying it on its side.

Can you plant a cutting in the winter? During late November early December?

Well, if he waits for it to callous, and keeps it in a warm bright place, he can root it and then plant it.

probably next to a sunny window. i don't take any cuttings after september. they stall and take forever to root. even with mild texas winters. 75f in december to cold for me.

Yup, just be careful about watering it in case it's dormant.
