Tomato ID

So, about a year ago, a coworker gave me some seed packets provided by Kashi - the folks who make granola bars and what not. It was a novelty giveaway for customers. I got "Straight 8" cucumbers, "Lacinato" kale, and tomatoes that were just labeled, "tomato". Hmmm. So I grew them, and here's what I got:

- regular leaf
- indeterminate growth
- 2 or 3 tomatoes in a cluster
- tomatoes weigh about 5 oz each
- flavour is very mild

...so I wonder what variety they are. They look like an orange/red oxheart? What do you think? Keep in mind that my crowded growing conditions are not ideal, and anything I grow might have been bigger/more productive under better circumstances. (ETA) Also - squirrels steal any tomato beyond first blush, so these were picked at first blush and ripened in a paper bag with a banana.

TIA! :)
