First, a affectionate welcome to the forum! I can't understand really why your first very interesting and well researched post with very good pictures don't get more attention.
Since I've handled both swords I have to agree that both are very top-heavy and difficult to handle and also that both show good signs of age and wear and would place them to the first half of the 20th century. And I agree that both are maybe status swords and that they most probably belong to a not documented subtype of Alor swords. Both swords has also very similar carvings on the top of the foot, a good sign of originality.

Regards,
Detlef
