Default Mystery Musa: Calling all experts

This is my buddy's Mystery Musa. I have a large pup and would like to confirm its ID. I will reserve my thoughts as not to taint the ID process.

Looks like a Mysore group (Mysore, Pisang Klotek, Pisang Ceylon, etc.) based on the look of the bunch (closely packed), the fruits (small and bottle-nosed), and the purple midribs on the leaves. Are the undersides of the leaves a bit purplish when the emerge?

Very tasty fruit on the Mysores.

I'm not an expert, but I've spent a lot of time in the last year trying to learn how to distinguish different varieties.

Yes, they do have a reddish /purple color. We had previously called them Mysore, which was what I had hoped they were. Thanks for your thoughts.
