Yes, they're spear blades (tombak).

I would need to handle them to estimate age and close examination would be necessary to provide a supportable opinion on origin, however, from what I can see in the photos, the first one is possibly Javanese. The metuk (transition fitting between blade and shaft) appears to be missing from this first blade and it looks like it has been replaced with a brass fitting.
