Colleagues, I really don't

Colleagues, I really don't know if this is a banana sticker or not. I got it through an exchange and I need help to understand what it is.

Nice labels. I‘ve never seen

Nice labels. I‘ve never seen them before.
I think this is a banana label from Réunion Island. The „banane pei“ is a small variety of bananas that grow there. Alizée is the name of a trade wind blowing in this area. It‘s interesting that it is being referred to on the label. The other label shows the outline of Réunion. I have no reason to doubt that these are banana labels (and wish I had them in my collection...)

These labels look pretty

These labels look pretty homemade, and not in a print shop. I heard, that because the amount of bananas is not too big, it is not reasonable to print thousands of labels in the printshop. But I was assured to be real banana labels.
