I prefer to trust professional botanists that do not consider SRA241, IVIA358 and CRC3931 as hybrids and keep them in collections as different clones of Citrus ichangensis.
The original 1913 description of this specie by W.Swingle does not mention an absence of flesh and describes taste and a form of pulp vesicles, photo from this description shows even more flesh than in SRA241
F.Gmitter recently updated this description after a discovery in China of two different forms Ichang Papeda with elongated and round fruits and described the taste of juice as sour and bitter
So, it seems that an absence of pulp for this specie is an exception observed only in some rare clones

Gmitter writes that oblong type is found in the mountains at elevations up to 2040 m, and globose type at elevations of 1700-2400 m. Do you think it is possible from this to cautiously assume that the globose type is more frost-resistant?

Dont know, for me both types have approximately the same resistance

That is a beautiful looking Citrus plant. It reminds me of Citrus micrantha Samuyao, possibly another original Citrus species ? citrusvariety.ucr.edu/crc3605It is different to what I have here, bigger leaves bigger fruit. Think it came as Ichang Pummelo seed. I once saw some fruit of ichangensis from the Citrus breeding project CSIRO Australia. They looked like yellow irregular fat hot dogs. They may have been collected in China or Vietnam as I remember.
