Ponderosa lemons are frequently somewhat misshaped. I believe they are 
actually a lemon x citron cross.

It's a possibility, Michele. My parents didn't keep the tags and wouldn't
have known their way around lemon varieties when picking them out. The
lemons could be fairly misshapen, which is what led me to think it could be
something attacking at the blossom stage.
