(yeah, I know Gabe has more 'nana experience in his little finger than most of us together... but I still think I'm correct in this instance - he's only human, and can't possibly remember everything)
It could be FHIA-03 ("Sweetheart"), but that is why I think it's necessary to see more photos of the plant, basing IDs off fruit alone can be quite difficult.

The type of Maoli I was thinking of for comparison would be one more like this:
