That's a very nice British Fritillaria link you found Wallaby!
I've looked at all the pictures of F.graeca, almost all have the middle green stripe on all the petals, but even these vary in foliage, some have broader ones than others, but they all look much more grayish than mine.
and yes, F. graeca ssp thessala looks more close to it, but still with pronounced gray-green leaves.
I think it would be wiser to wait until next year like you say for a definite conclusion. I won't put it yet in PF, as I don't want to confuse..

It is true when I compare the two by photograph, and the one on the ADC site, that the bells of F.amana appear to be a little longer..
I have to rely on my pictures; F.amana is planted downstairs in the garden while F.graeca has its home upstairs on the terrace. Graeca seems to be more happy(getting sun) while amana looks pitiful by now, having had no sun at all. I had counted with the fact that they should bloom in April at the time that the sun would be high enough to reach their spot. On top of that they have been half eaten up by some critters, weakened plants attracts them..

The two in one pict; the top one being amana and the bottom supposedly graeca
