I do know that the banana plant behind with a lot of fruit is a dwarf namwah. The dwarf namwah has a very stout, reddish trunk measuring 35" around and pseudo stem height of over 7', a lot of huge dark green leaves. The bunch has over 200 fruit.

Compared to the namwah, this mystery banana is a lot shorter and slimmer - trunk is only 16" around, pseudo stem less than 6' high, it has far fewer & much smaller leaves that are light green instead of dark green, and fewer than 50 fruit. The trunk also does not have the reddish tinge typical of namwah. While the fruit look somewhat similar, the 2 plants look very different, that's quite I wonder what it is.
