I'm not an expert, but based on how it looks and the weight I'd say that's likely just a flat.

It appears you have a flat- what did the label say?

I would also say flat and those normally cost much more than a whole packer.

Knows what a fatty is.
Costco stopped selling whole packers by my house and just the flat. Sam's Club sells the whole packer.

Definitely only the flat.
The point is the secondary muscle part of the whole brisket which has considerably more marbling.

The label just said uSDA choice Brisket. Didn't say whole or flat or anything.

Flat on right, point left.....separated after cooking as grain directions are a little different for cutting.....
You can see they are only connected by a fairly small area if some of the hard fat has been trimmed away......

You can see the 'hump" of the point well there.....
Here's point next to a tri-tip:
sort of rounded & thicker than what you've got there....
