Never heard of variegated plants only lacking chlorophyll in the winter. I thought it was like one of those variegated moon cactus grafts, where the only reason its doing so well and probably alive at all is the fact that it’s grafted to plant that can do photosynthesis for it, because of a lack of chlorophyll since germinating.
This specimen isn't variegated even though it looks very red and almost like a moon cactus like you said. It just looks this way during the cold season.
Here is another photo of the same specimen half a year or so ago during the summer or shortly before summer. You can see this is before most of the pups grew in and it's really similar in coloration to other lophs.

I think this is correct, but I'm also not sure to be honest. I think the flowers look similar enough but might be a deeper magenta with jourdanania than with willii.

That’s wild, so it’s just like a stress response it puts on every year when it gets cold. I had a couple loph grafts that turned dark purple for a bit in the winter so that makes sense.

This is a grafted loph i got from a local chap a few months ago, i assume the swellings are pups about to push through.
