It is easy to work that out. There are exactly one pair of
cotyledons which will be at the bottom. Any above that are true
leaves.


Technically true, but my tomato seedlings (especially the "runts")
often have ill-formed true leaves early on. I'm not saying that
is happening here, just that it can happen.


Nope , the leaves are perfectly formed little hearts . The second pair of
true leaves have a tiny pair of leaves behind them , same as the "normals" .
