Default Musa 'Florida variegate' or just an AeAe

Musa 'Florida variegate'. Supposedly a variety that a Thai collector brought over from Florida years ago. It looks to me almost exactly like Ae Ae. It does however have a very strong red line on the edges of the leaves. The trunk is suppose to remain considerably redder compared to the AeAe. So far there's red on the trunk but I had an AeAe than had that red trunk quality but eventually grew out of it. A major thing that surprises me is that the leaves have very slight faint red spots that you don't see in the AeAe. Overall, I think it's probably an AeAe, maybe a slight mutation on the original form. What do you think?
