Or would it also be possible that these features were only added to a "normal" dagger afterwards in order to make it more interesting for sale?

That is of course always a possibility, and I see what you mean as some of the characters seem incomplete as if the blade could have been reprofiled. It could be that one of the thuluth blades might have been cut down to provide a Zilfiqar blade.
