Thuluth calligraphy: How Widely Used on Weapons and Regional Application

To keep a more narrow focus lets just stick to etched thuluth where ever from. I have seen some on Indonesia weapons.

These are the three examples I have. I am not an expert but I thick it is possible to see three diferent styles, certainly two. Are they indicative of differnt regions? Clearly different manufatures. Crocodle skin in not a pointer as the Niger has crocs.
