Scooty, I can see your point. You have this body of evidence, and you need to make some sense out of it. Fred also makes a good point. Many folks are happy to find deviations in what the tomato looks like. There are few seed sources that one can trust implicitly. Even the best suppliers are vulnerable to such things as stray seeds finding the wrong packets, unknown crosses, misidentified seeds, and everything the human mind can imagine. I made a purchase for this year and when the seeds arrived, the envelope was empty. And, mother nature can mess with us as well. I had one Sungold F1 plant this year that gave me a bunch of red fruits on one stem for about a month, then went back to normal fruit. In the other thread, the vendor indicated that the possibility of stray or misidentified seed could be the problem.

I can see you know this as you're language about checking further to investigate the problem is your first choice. I can sense that I'm stating the obvious.

Now, how can one get some of these seeds. I like anything that tastes good.

BTW, I do a Clorox rinse on any seeds I receive from any source before I plant them. It's my way of keeping my garden as clean as possible. Some years I even do seeds that I save from my own efforts.
