These are the leaves off a Mr Stripey from Bonnie Plants that has been transplanted into a 5 gallon bucket of fresh soil for about 2 weeks. Can someone help me with an accurate diagnosis of this issue?

Likely bacterial. Suggest you trim off those affected leaves, bag em up and remove from the garden, then hit with liquid copper fungicide at the WEAKEST strength recommended for tomatoes. Stronger can make the leaves distort and curl. They normalize, but it takes about 3 weeks to catch up. Copper spray is antibacterial as well as antifungal.

Another vote for bacterial. . Definitely not EB as the lesions would be larger and develop into the infamous concentric rings..

It might also be Septoria leaf spot. It's hard to tell from the photos. Septoria won't affect the fruit, but bacterial spot or speck will.
It's not early blight. EB has larger lesions with a raised, target-like appearance. http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/...cts/05-069.htm |

Mulch with pine needles or something else.The plant may have been infected when you bought it.Agree with trimming of the leaves, especially all the ones below the first flowers or buds
