Older leaves get brown on the edges and stress can cause that as well... All in all I would say they look pretty good. The purplish staining is wine stains and are common in many banana varieties. I don't know for sure on Manzano, but I don't think so. Many nurseries and Ebay sellers send you anything, no matter what you ordered. They look like they could use some sunlight, though. Gradually introduce them to the outside.
Where are you located? It will also help if that was in your description.
