It's always hard when you don't see it in person (camera flash etc) but my money is on AB.

The reason I am trying to make sure what T it is is because I am getting a male soon... The last thing I would want to do is cross breed... So I must now that they are the same species.... What would happen if they are not and they do breed?

you'd get hybrids. If you're not 100% sure, don't even try.

Are hybrids infertile? I asked around a bit here in my country and sounds like it might already be a hybrid... A while back there was a confusing under these Ts and sounds like they got a bit mixed up....

brocks and genics are not hybrids,( although I'm sure Unintentionally hybridized specimens are out there) and the offspring may or may not be infertile. Hybridization is largely looked down upon in this hobby, they have absolutely no monetary value, as no one who has the slightest bit of respect for this hobby would ever buy one, They don't create color morphs, as spiders don't have pigment, and they further muddle taxonomy.
Like I said previously, If you're not 100% just don't do it.
