Thank you Alan and Gustav for you further explanations.

I’ve made further research and found the following link

http://disbudparporakabcirebon.blogs...ga-barong.html

It is in Indonesian, so I just give a summary:

- Singa Barong was made in 1649 and used by the Sultan
- Paksi Naga Liman was made in 1428 and used by Sunan Gunung Jati
- Both symbolize 3 animals: Paksi (Bouraq, represents Egypt/Islam), Naga (Dragon, represents China/Buddhism), Liman (Elephant, represents India/Hinduism).

Attached the picture of both carriages, in one of them is written Paksi Naga Liman
