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.
I will link this post to banana identification. Hope to get an answer. Thank you for the detailed reply.
