Default Beladau? Lawi Ayam? or...?

Hello,

Another Sumatran?/Malay? strange dagger.

The blade look like beladau blade but the hilt is very different.
The blade also looks like the Lawi Ayam but I do not really know this family of weapons and I think that the blade may not be curved enough to be classified as Lawi Ayam.

The sheath is in Suamtran/Malay style (The true color of red wood is a little browner and darker), but the adjustment with the handle is not good, I feel that it may not be the original sheath.

Length blade : 18,3cm
Thickness at the base : 5mm

Do you know the name and origin of this dagger?
