This plant demonstrates the problem encountered when we want to put each plant in a specific species.  We see here characteristics that are half way between those of cooperi and those found in cymbiformis.  Where does it go?  Nobody knows, but it is an example of the natural continuum and clearly demonstrates why Haworthia nomenclature is so difficult.  All that aside, what a nice looking plant!
