So far I will agree that this is not a separate ganga, and that this is Sulu.
Based on the style of okir, ron do at the back of the ganga, and the way the blade as made just before the ganga, I would even place this in the 1960s. I have seen and even owned one just like this with provenance of the 1960s.
Kai, I would like to see your research and references regarding the Mindanao production of early kris without separate gangas.
