A very similar Wrongko to that in the second picture in the post #37 is attributed to Cirebon by Hidayat.
The Wrongko on the wright side picture in your post #30 would be attributed to Tegal by the most people.
I suppose, there are a lot of opinions and guesses about the provenience of different Wrongko forms before the beginning of 18. cent. (particularly old Ladrang forms) and no absolute clarity. I suppose also, this clarity is inexistent and so impossibly to reach.

So Gustav,
I just follow the example from the Museum Gajah (The National Museum) of Jakarta. It was displayed some keris Banten like images below. You may compare yourself the picture..
The third picture, is an example of Tegal warangka with "rajamala" hilt
