Okay, finally got a chance to snap some more photos of this shorter bananas variety at the thai restaurant near my house. Petiole canals are as closed as can be. Is there a way to get a for sure positive ID yet? Photos taken 12/6/16:

No idea what I was thinking when I took this shot:
One last picture of the fruits and inflorescence:
