G,day Rick
To me not a sirupati/slender grass style. I will post what I believe to be a sirupati type blade. To me it seems terms such as sirupati, lambendh, budhume are used in a descriptive sense rather than rigid application.
I have attached a similiar, to me, type/era kukri that also exhibits the lovely hollow forge and beveled edge that you mention Rick.
I believe both kukris would be consider Nepalese. Hopefully the knowledgeable collecters will comment with research rather than my speculation.
Thanks again for sharing, These old kukri seem well made to me.

Kind regards,

Daniel
