Default Anyone have experience with Schuntukskij Velikan

I received some seed in a trade, but don't think I have the correct variety. First, the leaves are somewhat wispy. From the limited view of leaves at Tania's tomatobase, it doesn't appear to be wispy.

Secondly, I am getting both hearts (blunt) and beefsteaks on the plant. Both tomatoes are quite large (some of the largest tomatoes in my garden), but the beefsteaks are larger than the hearts. The beefsteaks could potentially match up to Tania's tomatobase, but I don't see any evidence of Schuntukskij Velikan producing anything close to a heart.

The only variety I am aware of that produces hearts and beefsteak like tomatoes is Gildo Pietroboni (based on photos at Tania's tomatobase). However, I don't know if the two different shapes were produced on the same plant.

I am growing Gildo Pietroboni this year, and will have to look at it closer. From what I recall, my Gildo Pietroboni only had hearts on it (they were quite large though).

Can anyone confirm I have the wrong variety? And can anyone explain why I have two shapes of tomatoes on one plant? The hearts definitely look like hearts. Someone at the community garden asked me if it was Bull's Heart.
