Default Pepper or squash?

We have a bit of a quandry.
Picked up a 4-cell pack of transplants with this tag:

Description is of peppers and the picture definitely shows the calyx
and stem of peppers.
But, the planting instructions are more for squash-type plants plus
the leaves on the plants are squash-like rather than pepper-type
leaves.
The tag contains no information as to the the grower. The plants were
purchased at the garden center of a big box store so asking the staff
there would be a total waste of time.
They got planted in the squash part of the garden so I guess we'll
just have to wait and see what they produce.

Yes the planting instructions are for a curcurbit and the photo is of a
pepper. If you had posted a photo of what you actually have instead of the
label it would be easy to determine which it is. Did you not have your
coffee that morning? If you use google images to find some pictures of each
you ought to be able to work it out yourself, the two types have quite
different characteristics even as little seedlings.
