Hey fellow growers and banana hopefuls; I have a few plants here that I got from various relatives (lots of people grow bananas here locally) and I'd like to know what varieties they are if possible.

This one I suspect is an Orinoco (hopefully Dwarf); it's about 5 feet from base to where the newest leaf comes out of the pseudostem. Do you think so too?

Midrib looks to have a pinkish tint

I'm not sure what this one is; it has nice pinkish coloring on the pseudostem. For those of you who might be worried that it's too young to definitively say due to the vast amount of varieties in existence, it's definitely one of the standard, average-joe varieties grown in this area (Florida/North Caribbean), like Ladyfinger or something. We don't have much variety diversity or rare varieties here where I live, so feel free to guess any average variety pertinent to the area you can think of that looks like this.

At another angle

Thanks in advance!
