Thank you, Wilbert!
Okay, here are some better pictures. One with the cut away spathe. In case it is not obvious, the spathe has a deep red/purple/brown colouration at the spathe limb base, inside the inflorescence. I hope these will assist you in the ID.
Thank you for your time,
Christopher

My guess is Am. variabilis.
As a general point to everyone who wants an Amorphophallus identified,
please, cut the spathe away on the frontside and make pictures of the
naughty bits (this goes for many more Araceae!!).
Cheers,
WIlbert
