They are fakes. It is the plant being widely sold in the US as "Ice Cream" but which is actually a Pisang Awak ("tall Namwah") cultivar, not the real Ice Cream / Blue Java. The color of the fruit, their shape (pointy-nosed), the retained pistil ("matchstick") at the end of the fruit, all point to Pisang Awak.
They look great and I'm sure will be delicious. Based on my very limited sample size, you will probably like them more than you would the real Ice Cream banana. Enjoy them.
