There's also a Giant Marconi but to be honest I think it's the same as the regular Red Marconi and may be a seed mix up?.

Giant Marconi is an F1 Hybrid, and Red Marconi is OP. When I grew them the same year, Giant Hyb was much larger than the Red OP, seeds from Sand Hill.
I also got variable shapes from one of the hybrid plants.
Your peppers do indeed look very similar, and I know there has been confusion on this for a few years, so who knows what has been accidentally or purposefully dehybridized. At any rate, they are both very good thick walled peppers.
Here they are in comparison to other sweet peppers. Sharpie marker at the top for scale.
