Is it Zoysa or Bermuda

I recently plowed a small section of my yard and had “zenith zoysia” hydro seeded. I have a lot of new grass but I am not sure that it is zoysia. I planted the zoysia to over come the bermuda that was appearting in my beautiful fescue yard. I now have a nice patch of green in my yard, but people ask if it is bermuda. I have bermuda growing in other spots in the yard and there is a difference. The leafs on the plot I know to be bermuda have smaller blades and are much narrower. The blades on the new grass are wider and longer. I felt the problem might be that the yard is new and under developed.

It has been a year now and the blades are still small in comparison to my neighbors zenith zoysia, and it seems to creep (crawl) more. How can I tell what I have?
