Default Help?!? LOTS of pics- Any "for certains" what type B.plant this is?

We are in SE Texas (near Houston). We've had these banana plants for awhile. We've gotten bananas from them, but it was awhile back as we were not supplemental watering them. Changed location of some w/ drip system and w/ all the rain, our 'wild' growing ones have put on some bananas as well.
The pic w/ the big leaf: leaf is about 1.5 ' wide x 4' long for reference.

Does anyone have a CLUE as to what type they are?
And, can anyone tell me when I should expect them to be ripe? ..or should I cut a hand off, put in a bag on the counter??

Thanks for ANY info. you can give!
