I think you're 'wild guess' might be right, have a look at these

Have 'Goggled'  and it looks like it, as yet there is no sign of flowers.

Nope, not ground elder.  I spend every Tuesday removing it from another garden so I can spot it at 50 paces!  ;D

I hope this helps!

You can buy varigated ground elder in the garden centre at Wisley, it is only £6.95 for a good size pot. ;D ;D ;D I asked if they gave a health warning as it is described as a good ground cover plant,spreading quickly underground. It is sold under it's botanical name. :) :)
