A small point of confusion... Monofoliate means one leaf, so you're saying that most growths are monofoliate and a couple aren't?
3 specific suggestions have been made as contributors, amethystoglossa, intermedia, and their hybrid Interglossa. What they all say is that it looks like a bifoliate Cattleya, but if it appears to be mostly monofoliate then it must be a hybrid involving some monfoliate type too. A couple things make me think intermedia is more likely than amethystoglossa - It appears to be slightly peloric, accounting for the color on the petals, rather than amethystoglossa spotting that would be more expected on the sepals. And the description as a stocky little plant is more likely for an intermedia hybrid than for amethystoglossa. We'll never know because there are hundreds of hybrids of this general type and it almost certainly isn't a well known clone (lovely, but not good enough to be cloned). No matter how much it seems to look like something, there are still dozens of other possibilities. If it was mine I'd just call it a probable intermedia or maybe Interglossa hybrid.
