Iain,
Lovely pieces. The takoubas look to have quality and sturdier than usual blades. Both are quite nice!
I have heard of the dagger style being referenced to Senegal, but have never seen a stitch of written or illustrated evidence. I think those dagger types are lovely and elegant. They may borrow a little from the Moroccan koummya, but there is nothing else quite like them in the Islamic blade arsenal.
