The only thing that make me think that it is not Peninsular was the tikel alis, which from my understanding when it looks like a "hockey stick" most likely it is from Sumatra.
Never an expert in Sumatran greneng (nor in the kerises) myself, so I just asked based on the tikel alis point of view.
There is close ties between peninsular kingdom (especially Terengganu) with Sumatran kingdom of Siak of the old, so I guess sometimes we can see it translated into the art of keris anyway, in a very good way it is!
Personally, I really like this piece. Straight and stout.
