Exterior of fruit looks kinda like lemon guava (yellow cattley) but the inside doesn't look right and the foliage looks totally wrong.  Cattley guava leaves are glossy, those look pale and fuzzy like tropical guava

The leaf looks like a guava tree to me, and I seem this type of guava before if I recall it right, but don't know the name of the variety.

the leaves are not like the normal guava such as these guys.

-------------------------------------------------------------
they're like smaller and glossy but for some reason they look bigger once i took a picture from close range. they aren't also very serrated like that either. but i guess i  should get better pictures for the leaves :)

the reason i thought it was cas it's because of the prominent dents of the fruit and the smaller size...

ok seems i found some old pictures of these from 2014
they were never fertilized so the leaves look a bit nutrient deficient.

Looks like a yellow catley guava to me, with extra large leaves which could be due to a shady condition ,if the plant is growing in such ....
