I just never thought of changing the leaf on this. There was a lot of folks camped on their own opinions about this subject. Right now, the main thing is that I've never had any differences in the fruit and the tomato growth has always been consistent. I have had some true potato leaves show up on plants with the SPL leaves right there on the same leaf stem.
Gotta go. Be back later.
Okay, I'm back. Here's the photos. The first one is the original plants I got from the original seeds.

The second one is the 2014 plant grown from the seeds I saved from the original 2013 plants

So, what should we call it ???? |
Ted, I would call those simply regular leafed. I know the person who came up with SPL, and I disagree. By definition, a PL has entire margins, mitten shaped sometimes, but no serrations. I do not accept SPL as being a thing. It's just a matter less deeply serrated regular leaf.
Having said that, your photos are just RL, IMHO.
These are my 4 Mikhalych seedlings. Seeds from Tillyboris at Xanadu a few years back. One is clearly PL, and no seed mix up, these were sown 2 weeks later than all the rest of my seeds, because I found them in a box. Sown into a separate small pot, not in the cells with the rest.
