Default Truly Tiny? and Dwarf Cavendish?

These three have always been a bit of a mystery to me. The first I purchased as a Basjoo, and knew full well it wasn't at the time. But I've never been able to ID it. The size implies to me it's either a Super Dwarf Cavendish or a Dwarf Cavendish. This is nearly a 2-year old plant (dug up in winter); it's about 30" tall (p-stem only).

The bottom two images are of plants I bought on eBay labeled 'Truly Tiny' - which at the time I was ignorant and didn't realize was a very small type of banana, not just baby banana's - duh John. But they seem a bit tall for 'Truly Tiny' - so I'm starting to wonder if they might also be something else. They are 30" and 26" tall - so I guess they could be 'Truly Tiny'.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Dwarf Cavendish?


'Truly Tiny'?
