Oreocereus celsianus ? (ID)

[RyManUtah]

I often browse those little $3 “indoor” cacti bins at places, for things that may grow in my area.  I picked this up..

I believe it to be Oreocereus celianus “Old Man on the Andes Cactus”, which should be hardy in my climate.  Can anybody confirm the ID?

Think yours might be O. trollii rather than O. celsianus..  At least going with pictures available over on the LLifle site.. O.c. seems to have somewhat wider and darker spines while O.t.'s spines look slimmer and more golden colored..  Regardless, keep it dry -as much as possible- thru the winter. Much more sensitive to damage/root rot if also wet at that time.

Would you say this is celsianus?

You can tell by the stiffer and straighter hair like radial spines how it differs from the previous post, and that it most likely is.
