My first thought was Rabiea, as Terry suggests. However, I would have expected the leaves to be more triangular, wide at the bottom tapering to the tip. Do these seem to have a parallel bit?
I do wonder though if it could do with more light? Has that modified colour or leaf shape? Dunno, perhaps it is already in blazing sun all day☺

Re: Unknown succulent
HI,
Sorry to have come to this so late in the day, missed it before Terry alerted me to it.
I my opinion this is a Rabiea given the very large spots. But just maybe it is a hybrid between Rabiea and Prepodesma or I should say Aloinopsis orpenii.
More sunshine and less fertiliser will perhaps make its origins clearer.

Re: Unknown succulent
I am no expert but it does look very like the Aloinopsis orpenii I grew from the society seed list last year.
Regards Keith.
