I suspect what you bought was a cheese commonly called "Huntsman",
which is double Gloucester around a thinnish stripe of Stilton. Cut in
a wedge one sees a top layer of orange double Gloucester, a thinner
layer of Stilton, and then another layer of double Gloucester. IIRC,
sometimes there are two thin layers of Stilton.

Stilton itself is a blue-veined cheese, very good.
