Your plant looks like a tall namwa to me but let the male flowers run for a bit and you will be able to tell. My understanding is that male flowers do not fall off dwarf plants as a general rule. Also first generation plants are shorter than subsequent generations.

My Dwarf Namwa has a clean rachis. When it first started, it had a dozen male flowers dry up and stay, but the flower is a couple feet below the bunch and it's clean. Dwarf Namwa is around 5'-6' pstem. It is also very thick. I would say that isn't a dwarf.
