Hi Ben,
There are two styles of pandat but they are Sidin and Bennah according to Shelford (see examples in order).
The ones with the resembling scabbard end as your parang are Sidin.
So I assume that you suspect that it's the Sidin version that somehow is connected to Iban?
On jimpul variations I consider the following two jimpul too even if they don't have the squarish end of the blade.
Michael
