Are these guavas the Psidium Guajavas?

A relative gave us a couple of gigantic guavas about 6 months ago. He didn't knew what variety they were. They were close to 5 inches in diameter. I had never seen guavas this big before. I took pics and try finding what variety they were. The closest I found was the Psidium Guajava. Please, I need the experts to give me their advice. Thank you!

It took them about 4 days to become ripe, by them I was anxious to eat them, that I forgot to take pics of their inside, which were white with a yellowish tone to it. I was so impressed by their size that I saved their seeds. I gave some to neighbors and planted a few but they didn't germinated. I still have a bunch so I'll try again soon using a better seeding system.

I'm not much of a guava eater and to my uneducated taste the flavor was similar to the ones sold at the groceries store. Eating a whole guava by myself was like having a full lunch.
