Hello Robert,
I'm not sure about these swords I'm afraid, but you will only know in your own mind when you handle them. The blades do look very point heavy similar to many reproductions. Yours also have that rounded appearance associated with repros. They swords seem quite crudely made too. I hope that I am wrong.
I have owned a couple of Dutch klewangs and the blades toward the point were much less meaty (in thickness).
