The first time I looked at your photos, I thought they looked more bottom heavy (pear shaped). But then I looked at them again, and ...not so much. I’ve grown Goldman’s Italian-American and some version of Cour di Bue , which are sort of similar. There was a thread about those Cour di Bue variants some time ago, and iirc every region in Italy had its own strain.

There is a seed seller called something like Croatian Seeds, so maybe you could browse their list? If they did have something similar , you could get the seeds, grow them, and compare the tomatoes to yours.

It looks like you have an exceptional tomato! You may have to just name it yourself.
