It is 'Ducasse'. The other common names for this variety (which you will see more often on this forum) are 'Namwah' and 'Pisang Awak'. Below are photos of the fruit of each. The plants are overall very similar, but the fruit shape and bunch shape are quite distinct from each other. 'Ducasse' tends to have cylindrical pendant bunches, whereas 'Blue Java' is normally slightly horizontal with a slight curve in the bunch, and the fingers to point away from the plant. Also the fruit shape is different as you can see, 'Blue Java' is more plump with a longer pedicel and not bottle-nosed like 'Ducasse'. Although both have waxy fruits with a bluish tint, you can see that 'Blue Java' is even more waxy with a comparably bluer and waxier unripe skin.
