Is this pure sylvestris?

So I recently just purchased this Phoenix sylvestris and am wondering if it is pure. The reason I question it's purity is because of the rather brown coloration in the trunk. Also, the leftover frond bases near the top half of the trunk look rather big. This could be something that is normal, but I haven't seen it. I know some people think that pretty much all Phoenix tend to have small traces of other Phoenix species. If this is true, what other Phoenix species do you think this palm has in it's genes. Obviously it is mostly sylvestris, but I am just curious

Just bumping this since this post got pushed back a bit and since nobody has responded yet.

It seems to have nutritional deficiency making it hard to tell if any cross has occurred.  At a glance I would say Sylvester.  Any additional pics after planting?

Still hasn't been planted, they'll come to put it in pretty soon. After I give it some fertilizer it should perk back up. Any idea what kind of deficiency it has so I can pinpoint that?
