Your very close I think Asomotif!

Ive seen many of these & had a few.The handle, flat blade spine & sculpted scabbard are all highly recognisable & those that were provenaced {about 3 I can recall.} were generaly late WW2 era pieces bought or traded around the Assam & particularily Darjeeling areas by British & American service personel.

Darjeeling is in India but has a massive Nepali population & indeed today it own seperatist movement.

Yours looks in very good condition. There seem to be generaly reliably made but have no finnesse.
