Yes I agree much confusion keris Sumatra and keris Bugis.  This keris from Pak Sabertasche is Sumatra and not Bugis.  Second keris is keris Bali.  Pak BluErf say  
 
Actually, its the dress that differentiates the Sumatran Bugis from the Sulawesi Bugis. 
 
Sorry but no thing like Sumatran Bugis. Bugis only south Sulawesi people.   
 
Sorry also I not agree with picture words 
 
1st pic - Sumatran/Straits Bugis 
2nd pic - Another Sumatran/Straits Bugis 
3rd pic - Sulawesi Bugis 
4th pic - Sulawesi (Buton) Bugis 
 
All these keris from Sumatra.  No keris here Bugis.   
 
If I make problem I am sorry. For me no mistake keris Bugis asli with keris Sumatra asli.  They are cousins family but enough difference to see.  OK to not believe what I say.  Ask someone else from Indonesia that know keris what they say.
