You are correct. I have just finished preserving some
Chaenomeles.  The fruits have many seeds stacked your
in rows with about 5-6 rows or sections. You could
easily get 30+ seeds from one fruit. Where as the
Cydonia seed (if I remember are vertically oriented(if
I remember right). I usually see 4-6 seeds from that
Cydonia fruit. The core looks very much like an apple
or pear.

There is also Psudo-Cydonia (?).  I have only seen
that fruit once, but as I remember the fruit is more
football shaped.
