Dan, the Bluggo subgroup (which according to Keppler and Rust includes Ice Cream), has ABB genetics.

The number of fingers per hand is on the high end for what I've seen in Bluggoe, but not unreasonable. On the other hand, pardon the pun, 10 fingers is way too low for your typical, healthy Pisang Awak.
I thought so too regarding the color, but they look much more blue in the sink photo. I've taken pics of mine and often find they look less blue than they seem in real life. Also something about the tips make them look just like some other ice creams I harvested a bit early. Kepler also mentions that sometimes they aren't as blue as they normally are. Also, the p-stem picture is that typical yellowish green that all my ice creams have, that my namwah don't have.

Here's the shot I have that looks most like the sink picture.



And another, more ripe and less blue.
