Default Gran Nain?

I work at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and we planted several varieties of bananas this past spring. Now we're enjoying a veritable bonanza as many of them are fruiting. This is when we realized we received some bonus bananas that we did not order. What we ordered are the following from Excelsa Gardens: Zebrina Rojo, Dwarf Cavendish, Veinte Cohol, and Thousand Fingers. This banana is clearly not any of the above. The banana shape most closely resembles a Cavendish, but the bell is humongous, much larger than a Cavendish. The bell also looks different. The closest match I could find by pictorial comparsions is Gran Nain. Let me know what you think, thanks!
