Dubbels are dark amber/brown.Upto 25% dark sugars 6-7.5% alcohol.
Triples are much lighter colour,usually just Pils type malt and up to 25% sugars.7-10%alcohol
Therefore you are brewing a Dubbel,although the starting gravity is high enough to be a Triple.
Take out the special grains,replace the dark sugar with clear sugar,then you definitely have a Triple
Personally I would lose the late hops and the raisins

Yeah looks like a Dubbel to me. I'd leave it as it is though other than drop the raisins, the Special B will give you enough raisiny flavour.
Yes the gravity is in the upper reaches for a Dubbel but would be at the bottom of the scale for a Tripel. Also the IBUs would be too low for a Tripel as they tend to have a higher bitterness than Dubbels.
Depends what you want - a strong Dubbel or a weak Tripel!
Just brew it!
