Hi,
They are not M. basjoo, the leaf shape and color are wrong. I'll snap a photo of my small M. basjoo and post it. M. basjoo has reddish midribs when it first emerges which fades some as time goes by. Your bananas look very healthy, young dwarf and super dwarf Cavendish usually have lots of red markings on the leaves which your plants lack, so I don't think they are Cavendish. Just set them up in large pots, feed them well and enjoy!
