I believe the Florida variegated banana was due to irradiating the plant to cause the variegation, and the Hawaiian Ae Ae was a natural variegation, but I could be wrong about that.

I've grown the Ae Ae, so I've seen it up close from pup to fruit, but I haven't see the Florida except through photos. The variegation on the Florida type appears to me to be different, but it would be difficult to explain why.
