RL vs. PL African Queen??

I’ve been growing whole seed packs for our master gardener tomato sale. One thing I noticed this year was RL plants for varieties that were supposed to be PL.

I’m assuming that if there were only a few RL, it could have been an error during the seeding — lots of volunteers, too much chatting, not paying attention.

But for African Queen, the discrepancy caught my attention only when there were 3 PL and 10 RL plants left. So the question is, should we sell those 10 plants next week as African Queen RL, or give them away as «unknown variety »?

If it were me I would sell all 13 of them as a mystery tomato. There are just too many off type plants in there to have much confidence that any of them could be African Queen.
