The first picture doesn't look like truncata at all.I see your plants are very wet.
Please try to maintain the humidity by filling the plastic bags with 1/4 of water and don't water your plants untill they recover.Water them only when them media is dry.

Amit,

Your plants looks good. Not too stressed up from the journey to you. How long were they in the postage box? If they have already been hardened from the supplier, just remove the plastic cover so they get air circulation. But make sure the media does not dry out for the first few weeks.

Thats definitely not a truncata. Truncata have cute heart shaped leaves just like what Ken said.

The first two picture plant name needs to switch. The first picture is veitchii and the second picture is truncata. The truncata in the second picture is just a plantlet and therefore the heart shape leaves is not very clear and look like triangle shape instead.
