Which pork chop!?

We bought pork from a local farm and it was processed for us by a local butcher. Of course, I get a package that says "Pork Chop". In the database, there are 4 different types of chops. I wouldn't really think much of it, except the nutritional difference is quite a bit.

Pork - blade, bone-in 3oz 272 cals and 21gr of fat
Pork - center loin, bone-in 3oz 204 cals and 11gr of fat
Pork - sirloin, boneless 3oz 177 cals and 7gr of fat
Pork - top loin, boneless 85gr (3oz) 154 cals and 5gr of fat

I am not positive if they are bone in or not. The package is not transparent and they are still frozen. Even once I know that, it still wouldn't tell me which cut it is. It would merely narrow it down a little.

Anyone have some knowlege on the topic?

    When you do open it up, google each of the cuts. I found pictures of each. Go with what it looks like. Also, I'd double check the amounts given with the USDA's nutritional list.

    From a locker I would guess it to be "Pork - center loin, bone-in 3oz 204 cals and 11gr of fat " Most of the time when you have one done and they don't ask you what you want, you get a good old bone in chop. Thickness depends on what you guys asked for.
