Hello Freddy,
Not a siraui (neither of the 2 types), for sure. It's true that this keris-like scabbard is quite often found with siraui; however, it may more hint at the origin (western Sumatra?) of this piece rather than being restricted to a single blade type.
The hilt does somewhat resemble a peurawot (turned upside down though). I'd guess that the crossguards were added later - any hints?
The blade looks like a decent EDC design to me. An etch to bring out laminations may give additional info. AFAIK, such a multi-use knife blade would be most likely called piso/pisau.
Regards,
Kai
