Honest munition grade examples. Blades are likely Indian trade, the decorations by the hilt were likely made locally.
I would polish their spines close to the hilt: if you find a longitudinal seam(“crack”), that may indicate wootz blade. Then, polishing and etching the entire blade would be justified.
