Both look good!

My Kumato plants and fruit look different than your regular Kumato plant. Here is a pic of mine. And the fruit on mine are much larger than the store variety at 4.5-6 oz. I think this is a "storage tomato" type. They are hard as a rock and have been sitting on my counter for more than a week with no sign of softening. They have lost some of their greenish cast to a more reddish brown. Appears to be a thick skin (but I have not cut one, yet).

Disease is an issue with mine -- far more than any other variety I'm growing this year. And the productivity is pretty anemic -- not as yours appear to be. My seeds are from a line that has been grown for several years -- not an F2. I'll be interested to see how long these keep at room temperature, and of course, what they taste like.
