I do notice all the differences amongst the variations of sewar and tumbuk lada presented.
Sadly Zonnevelds book lacked Malay examples, the images focus on the classic Sumatra style, yet it is very clear in the text what the hulu of the type resembles, which (and I'm happy to provide more images) is that seen in #4 too. It has all the classic curves, peaks and angles that the big brother next to it has.
Here also is the extract from Gardner, 1936 from which Zonneveld presented the text, it may or may not offer clarity.
