Michael, I just dug up some old pix which I took a couple of years ago when 2 enterprising nurserymen in Bkk decided to TC the now known Siam Ruby. They got the plant from Indonesia and wanted to make a killing through TC (which they did but it affected the partnership to a split). Then I was not even interested in 'naners but just recorded the plts for the fun of it. At that time they called it
Kluay Dang =
Red 'Naner. The dark one was sold for 4,000baht (approx $100+). My Thai friend bought a bunch of the cheaper ones and brought it to the US. Up till now in Bkk, no one calls it Siam Ruby, it is known as
Kluay Indon Dang =
Red Indon 'Naner.
Then again, why not give it a shot and buy some. No harm. That's what I always do and that's how I end up with many nice stuff and of course
many not so nice stuff! 
Look familiar? Dark form TC.
TC variation. I was hoping to stuff like these cos as usual I was
hoping to get a 50green/50red to stay on in color.
