In my opinion, probably not.
There is very little information available on Bali keris. Perhaps the best, easily available text is "Keris di Lombok" by Ir.H. Lalu Djelenga, and that has a Lombok slant, although it seems that much of what is said in it can be also applied to Bali.
Going back about 25 years I put a lot of time into trying to get information on Balinese keris, but I had almost no success. Admittedly, I lacked the connections I had in Jawa, but I did have a relative who was married into one of the royal families, and through that connection I got a couple of introductions to people whom one would have thought would have had some knowledge, but regretably there was very little there.
I was at that time given a photocopy of an old text on keris, but I was never able to find anybody who could read it.
