Yes, the kojongan or kekonjongan style of scabbard seems to have been more common in Lombok than in Bali (see pic, I bought this typical old piece in Lombok).
Athanase, from your pics your blade does not look to have been significantly shortened as the Teja Kinurung pamor pattern extends up to the tip. Regarding your question about the differentiation between the blades from Bali and Lombok, it is much too complex to be replied in a simple way but the krisses from Lombok got other influences (Java, Bugis) so many of them are not in pure balinese style as shown in the book "Keris di Lombok".
