That's a good question. I've not been to Negri Sembilan myself, so I am not sure if they have retained their Minang keris forms.
But an interesting point to note is that Minang kerises are so varied that it is hard to point to an 'archetype'. Every Minang village has their own slightly different dress and hilt. This applies to the people's headdress and dressing as well. It's a kind of unique communal identity. So I would not be surprised if the Negri Sembilan Minang people have their own special form of keris dress.
