Micheal, 
 
I can be a bit slow but this parang is the same blade form as your Malay Semelai parang.  This might mean blades supplied to a region with a specific taste.  I also post a picture of a Senoi from the north with a stone axe.  He has a parang without a scabbard, looks as if it could be a little bit hurty!    thats not a real word.   Tim
