Mystery plum tree?

I grafted a scion from a local exchange last year onto some rootstock. The scion was supposed to be a Satsuma plum. Planted in a group with two other plums (Santa Rosa and Golden Nectar) and a pluot (Dapple Dandy), it is clear that there is something funny about this little tree:

The leaves of the three other trees look identical to each other and nothing like this. I'm positive this is *not* rootstock growth. Older leaves near the base of the tree have less of the pronounced puckering and are a deep green, unlike the lighter green of the other trees' leaves.

Any ideas on what I have, or is Satsuma just that different?
