Re: Aloe ID2
Polyphylla? I don't think so. Something more along the lines of maculata/saponaria/or hybrid.

Re: Aloe ID2
yes, could be, the spots are not polyphylla. The general form is different from my saponaria but there is a lot of variety.

Re: Aloe ID2
Not the right look at all for a polyphylla of that size. Looks like a slightly stretched Aloe 'Nobilis' to me, https://agaveville.org/viewtopic.php?t=1496

Re: Aloe ID2
Polyphylla has that distinctive ridge on the back of the leaf which is why it spirals around geometrically. Plus the leaves are pretty triangular gradually and evenly tapering to the tip whereas the plant in the OP look slightly acuminate.
I can see the similarities but definitely different.
