The greneng and kembang kacang form certainly does not look Moro. This could be a Malay Sundang from N. Borneo/Kalimantan.

I have this interesting piece, which you may have seen before -> A very long Bugis sepokal keris with sundang features, in a Sulawesi dress. Note the engraving at the base of the blade. Provides more anecdotal insight into spread of the Moro kris in the Malay world.
