Tog,
If Ebun Musak/Pisang Jari Buaya produce fewer and smaller fruits, then it must not be a direct equivalent to the Buñgulan/Monte Cristo. Buñgulan in the Philippines produces the exact same size bananas as the Gran Naine in the grocery stores. Same length, diameter, and thick skin. The main differences are the Buñgulan have very sweet fruit and green when ripe.
Here are some photos, including of the fruits:
Those are full size bananas, folks!
