Of the ones in the ground, the large one is 'Manzano' and the small one is 'Ice Cream', so yes you are correct.

The Cavendish looks like 'Dwarf Cavendish', 'Super Dwarf Cavendish' is usually much stockier. It's small because it's in a container, it would do much better in the ground. Heights of banana plants refer to the their mature height at flowering, so if it's not flowering then the size is somewhat irrelevant.
