Thanks for showing the folks that by reading a short description in your FHIA Guidebook about the FHIA-01 bud,

"the FHIA-01 has a short heart-shaped male bud with wide shoulders and bracts that lift one at a time."

you were easily able to distinguish the FHIA-01 from the FHIA-18 without the need of any description or photo of the FHIA-18. With this knowledge you've acquired you will be able to distinguish the FHIA-01 from most of the others bananas in the world.
My point was that nowhere does the guide say that ONLY FHIA-01 has a short heart-shaped male bud with wide shoulders and bracts that lift one at a time. It says that FHIA-01 has revolute bracts that lift one at a time whereas SH-3640 has revolute bracts that lift in pairs. It makes no mention of what the bracts of most of the other varieties do, or their bud shape, including FHIA-18. You've seen enough of the other varieties to know that their buds look different and their bracts behave differently from FHIA-01, but the guide didn't tell you that.
