Help ID my Dracaena/Cordyline

Hi,
We've had a Dracaena or possibly a Cordyline as a houseplant for about as long as I can remember. As far as I can recall, it has never fruited or flowers, but puts up prolific shoots. I think I have narrowed it down, due to leaf width and shade, to Dracaena draco, Dracaena cinnabari, Cordyline australis (previously Dracaena australis) and Cordyline stricta (previously Dracaena stricta), however I could be off here. A picture is below and, I can take more if it would be helpful. Thanks for any help.
Best,
Pitch

It resembles D. Marginata, but its leaves are shorter and wider than any marginata I've seen.
You can rule out D. Draco.
Sorry, I can't be of more help. Toni

Could be spineless yucca.

Definitely not Cordyline australis.
