Question Hudiedao?

I acquired this sword/ knife pair some years ago. At the time they were simply called "Chinese Fighting Swords". Recently I saw a similar (but more ornate) pair at Swords and Antique Weapons identified as "hudiedao". The brass mounts are very similar. The grips on mine are old wood or possibly horn. The overall length of each knife is 14 ¼” and each blade is 10 ¼”. Both knives house in the scabbard measuring 14 ¾”.

Everything else I find on hudiedao (including this forum) shows a very different hilt design.

What do I have here? Thanks in advance for any and all comments.
