I think the id is right Alok Ji...*S. nervosum* is the common "Jamun", flowers and fruits earlier than *S. cumini* in our area, they are not to be confused even vegetatively..as you can see in your pics, the leaves are broader in* S. nervosum*, moreover they are dark green compared to paler in *S. cumini*. The fruits in "Jamun" and "Jamoya" (*S. cumini*) are different in size as well as palatability. They are smaller (nearly round) in *S. cumini *as well as they almost inedible..may be experts can add more..
