Loph ID? Photos Included.

I just got home from a trip to town and I decided to stop by a local nursery to pick up some strawberries (which have fruits that have plants and flowers coming out of them....?). Anyway I saw this guy, and one other. I am fairly certain it is a loph specie but not positive. Can anyone help me out?
There are no spines. It is a good size, 2" across and the same high. it is grafted onto a dragon fruit. I have read it is hard to get a good id without seeing it flowering but can someone give me a hand. Are there any keys to this specie so that i can get a 100% ID?
Thanks for any help! Here are some photos. If you need better/specific shots i can easily setup the tripod and get some better quality shots!
Take it easy

cannot be IDd withought flower by sight. that and grafts always look a little different.
if you wouldnt mind, i would like to buy the other off you if you would pick it up for me, ill send you a nice specimine of something else for your trouble too  im in the okanagan so it would be qite feesable 
lophs are wasted on the general population 
if you found those, check other local nursuries, they usually have the same supplier

Lophophora genus for sure... Looks like it has dried flowers on the areoles! Pinch them off and you´ll find a load of seeds!  Wait a few weeks and it should flower soon. Lophos flower all the time. You´re very lucky!

why not? degraft let callouse as much as it can and ship with a phytosanitry certificate. I guess temps would be a problem with shipping. that is if your sending to canada.

Dammit, what is the matter with my computer. I can't see the pictures, on any setting of preferences, only a few white dots. I think it's like this for all photobucket pictures. Anyone know how to fix it.

I think its because of my work's blocking software. It seems to stop any access to photobucket & similar.

Loph species all look fairly similar and they all grow differently and can easily look like something they're not.
That doesn't look like a typical peyote, it looks more like a l. diffusa. Peyote is usually smooth and evenly bisected; but "usually" doesn't mean anything.
