Part of banana ID is knowing whats realistically available, SDC is a very common banana plant, for these unnamed, unlabled, grocery-store-floral-shop type mystery bananas, they are almost always either DC or SDC, they are very common plants. You can tell it is a cavendish just knowing what a cavendish looks like. You can tell tell its SDC because of its compact stature, and you can by sure its not Little Prince because 1) little prince is not a very common plant (although popular in our little niche market, its not at the scale of DC and SDC), and 2) little prince is even more compact, a full size plant in my experience being about the size of the pups on the plants in this picture.

Although you really can't be 100% sure until flowering, I still go with SDC.
