In one sense, yes it does, but full dress really only tells us (perhaps) where the keris was dressed, not the origin of the blade itself.
I agree with Jag that this seems Javanese in origin, though i see what he means about the kembang kacang in relation to East Jawa.
What is most strange about this blade to me in the gonjo. It is somewhat like Gonjo Wilut, as you can see depicted in this illustration, but yours is flat on the bottom. Never seen the on any variety of wavy gonjo before. My first thought was that it might be a replacement gonjo that was adapted from something already formed, but when i look at it closely the iron seems the same and the pitting and wear but the pesi looks exactly the same on the gonjo as it does on the blade itself, so it all seems original.
