I'm confident that your Grand Nain looks precisely as my looked about a month ago.
Also the Manzano seems to be right, although I have Dwarf Brazilian, that looks just the same. :D No worries though, they will probably develop more distinctive characteristics over time. Both are from AAB plantain group, so it's probably normal that they look very similar.
As to the Monthan, I've never even heard of it, OK, maybe heard of, but I think it's just some other cultivar with a name variation like Texas Star.
Hope this helps. I would say that they are what they were told to be and sold to you. The last pic's of Grand Nain I presume...

I hate to be like the little boy that said that the emperor had no clothes on, but they all look like the same plant to me. They look very similar to the 2 Ventricosums that I got from Bill (bdollarbill) last year about this time.

Well, the 1st and 2nd pics have different variegation, clearly, the 1st has spots, the 2nd stripes with different color. The midrib has different color, P-stem is just about different and the leaf shape is also different. I recognized that Grand Nain shape, cause my plants looked just like that a month ago. :D

Hopefully they are what you think they are. Dont share them with others till you have a positive ID is good general advice, they will pup before they bloom, so just keep them all in your possession before telling someone it is x, be sure about that. Post some pics of the flowers closeup when they bloom. Will look for your threads about that in a year or two :)

They are too little to tell for sure, but the gran nains/manzano/mysore always look a lot alike when they are little. Very subtle differences if any. Not sure about that last one, never heard of it, of course there are many varieties of bananas that I've never seen/heard of. Too many kinds to know them all.
I wouldn't normally guess plants froma picture anyway. There are just too many that look similar, and too many photographers that can make the pictures look different than the actual plant too.
My guess is--they're probably right, until proven otherwise. Or did you mix them up in unwrapping?

Hi Sandy0225
No i didn't mix them up unwrapping,all the Nana's i got had labels on them,with plastic string attaching them to the corms,they probably are right just looked a bit same so i thought the wrong Nana's might have been sent to me.
Thanks for your advice.
