Would you call these heart shaped?
Need opinions. Heart shaped or not. I have a tomato plant that has regular leaves that I grew from seed and labeled it as Black from Tula. It is not Black from Tula. I don't know what it is. Would you call the shapes of these tomatoes hearts are not?

That top one could possibly be considered a blunt heart. Or an oval, like a paste. Both could also be considered normal variation on round tomatoes. I've seen Early Girls look like the second one. I'd need to see more examples to make a decision.

That second one definitely looks like a blunt heart to me. Are the leaves wispy, or broad? Usually, but not always, heart shaped tomatoes have elongated, thin leaves as well. Two examples that I'm growing this year- Reif Red Heart, and Goat Bag, have thin wispy leaves.

I might call it a plum depending on the interior. Post a pic of that when you can. If large Locules it’s a plum imo.

Good, but my faves are the "black" ones. However, I have liked it many colors of cherries...black and brown, orange, pale yellow, red.
