Id say afghan and It looks that way because its sucking up all the left over phosphorus from the leaves giving it the color shown.

That is a gorgeous plant. If we're going with the deficiency theory then I'd say lack of phosphorus and nitrogen.
However, I have heard of theories that say when a plant has a lower ph and grown at colder temps it grows purple and when at a higher ph and higher temps the plant will turn red. I'd ask the guy what the ph of his soil/water was and at water temps the room was at during lighting. That could explain the dark red fan leaves with a little yellow burn on the edges due to high temps. Just a guess though.

my guess is its a purple pheno that has some nute burn and was in colder temps...but looks great.
