199/200 it always turns out to be a namwa so that is a good bet...however this plant doesn't show the normal namwa tells from what I have seen in my patch. I don't see any red lining on the edge of the mid ribs, can't make any determination based on pstem since its covered by old, dead growth, leaves seem to be a bit shorter than what I see on my namwas, and the fruit although similiarly shaped does not have the purplish ring where the fingers connect to the platform/peduncle. Also the crown looks different to me. Mine usually make an initial crown then shoot up a bit with three or so leaves and then the flower comes out.
Tall namwas can fruit at short height if they lack resources so height is not a major indicator for me.
I suggest making a link from your post in the banana id to this thread and maybe Gabe will drop in and give us the definitive answer.
