Hi Rhys Michael,
Happy to help out, lumping all western Sahel items under the Tuareg banner is a common issue not helped by the extensive intermingling of these communities.
Thankfully there are a few cases where we can be more sure. This being one of them as there's a direct illustration in
"Cultural Areas of Nigeria" by Hambly.
