Default Help with ID leaves only

I got a load of bananas for free. I wasn't that sure what kind I was taking b/c the person giving them to me didn't know what was what. The only thing I know is that Blue Java and some type of finger bananas were there. There may have also been some more common types. I know a little bit about identifying Blue Java, hopefully I ended up with at least one. Here are some photos of leaves, some were cut, a few still remain on the smaller plants. Any help with identifying appreciated. Photo 3 and 4 are the same leaves top and undersides.

It's not possible to narrow it down to any single cultivar just with photos of the leaves. Looks like some ABB cultivar, which includes Blue Java -- and hundreds of other cultivars. You'll probably have to wait until they flower before you have any realistic chance of identifying them.
