Yes, rangpur lime should produce nucellar polyembryonic seeds, meaning it grows true to type.

Both Rough and Rangpur are Lemandarins, pretty close but maybe not a variety of the other.
Rangpur is pretty much nucellar, can get a few unusual seedlings sometimes.
It can also flower pretty quickly, about 6 years here.
