Paul de Souza,
I do not know anything about the two keris shown in the agong pic so can not comment on your interesting info about how they were made.
However it is quite a common practise even now in Malaysia to get old blades (especially heavily damaged ones ) and make into a new blade.
With regards to the rebellion I think you're referring to "Tok Janggut" ?. He did not rebel against the sultan but the british colonial rule and especially the new tax imposed by the colonials at the time. He was and still a very respected figure among the kelantanese.
