Hello Rick,
both swords are from West Java, Sunda, so you see with basement some resemblance. But this are two different region of West Java.
To answer your question, I don't know, I need to look and touch the blade to get an idea. But from the seller pictures I tend to think that it is a local blade (with lamination) maybe worked for a Dutch? But this is just my guess.
Best regards,
