I might be missing a point, but what was the basis of such a classification?
Size? Handle? Contour of the point? Contour of the blade? Color of the scabbard?
What " differences in the basic shape " are important? Are we talking about real issues of construction or just about local monikers of the same sword?
I do love Parang Naburs and would love to really understand them.

For example: would you refer to it as. Lais type?
Help me out.
Thanks.
