I dont think it is CH. I dont think it is a sport of it either though it could be a reverted sport but I am doubting that. The leaf is not right and the stems should have more red to pink at the base. This species does get some purple markings on the edge and base of the stems but unsually only seen on larger plants. Here is a leaf of HC to compare.

The red dot on CH is fairly large it also is not always a dot but sometimes larger V shaped. I think if you planted a CH next to this plant they would look very different. Thought the original plant of CH was found at the Chicago zoo as a mutated sport.
