G.pulchra Sold as male.is this female?

I purchased a pair of G.pulchra's back in 2022. This was labelled as a male. It molted 2 days ago and upon checking the molt, I could see what looked like spermathecae with the naked eye. The T is approx 3.5 inches DLS. (Apologies on the blurry picture. It was taken with a mobile phone)
Those look more like spermathecae than male accessory organs to me, but given the pic it's hard to say. The presence of the uterus externus (a "flap") over the top of them would be a clear indicator that you've got a female.
