I asked the seller the same question. The lot number is: 290234512063 and there are 5 photos of the plant, blossom and fruit. I am also curious about it.

Here is the link to the auction. The ad has 5 photos, and there is another link to more photos. Some of the fruit bunches look like Orinoco and some look like Brazilian. Fruits appear to be 4 inches long.

I don't think it is Orinocco. Looks a lot more like a Namwah type. Too short for Orinicco, too many bananas per hand, and too many hands.
