I got this today and just had to show it against one I have shown before. The new one has the smaller blade. The one with the larger blade is 201cm long, the new one about 5cm shorter. There are obvious differences most noticeably at the blunt end. The grip type knuckle on the new one is steel and the haft to the end does not have the decorative brass plates. I know there is a small number of members with a passing interest in sub-Saharan Africa, I just thought you might like to see the two styles together.
