Help me ID this tomato please

I planted some San Marzano tomatoes from seed. I bought the seeds from a person in Italy.
I grew several from this seed packet; but, one plant looked different this year. I cannot ID it.
The vendor is no longer available.
Any ideas? I really like this tomato. It is very thick skinned with little seed.

I looked up Red Sausage tomato and they look the same on Etsy, but on other sites it looks different :?:

I started some store bought sun dried tomatoes and the green ones look like that.
RL (regular leaf)
One seedling was PL (potato leaf) I have in the house under lights.
It had huge cotyledon leaves and nothing else for months.
4 months old and only about 1 foot high.
The sun dried were from Turkey.

You's definitely won't experience uniform shape with the Red Sausage, but you'll (IMO) LUV its production.

I have no idea, as there are about 20 "San Marzano" varieties circulating.

One of y’all ought to do a personalized tomato business. Create unique tomato crosses by the scores and allow folks to name one after themselves or whatever, for a fee. Sell the seeds for an additional fee. Form a tomato registry like the personalized star registry. Your personal named by you yellow star is in Cygnus, 807 light years away, magnitude 9.3, 0.8 sun mass, etc. Your personal named by you tricolor striped heart shaped tomato is approximately 150 grams, brix 5.6, 80 days to maturity, etc.

If people will pay good money for the naming “rights” of some obscure star, invisible to the naked eye, one among the billions of stars out there, then there’s little reason to expect they would not do the same for a tomato.
