I need help with my heirloom tomatoes, please.

I bought "Red Brandywine" heirloom tomato seeds from Victory Seed Co., and I also bought "Brandywine" heirloom tomato plants from a local nursery. As you will see in the picture, the leaves from each plant are very different.
My questions are, are they the same variety? I want to collect seeds from my open-pollinated seed plants this year but I'm afraid that they're not the same variety and will cross-pollinate.

Could someone please let me know if it is safe to plant them all together, and if they're the same variety or different?

Sure appreciate your help!!
Glenda
