ID Solomon Island?

These set me thinking. Yes, they do look like Solomon Island artefacts and they look like clubs, but why have I never seen anything just like them. I tried searching online databases of BM, Te Papa, Tropenmuseum etc. … a blank. Nothing like them in Edge Partington's Album either. Then had a thought … what if they are pounders (e.g. for betelnut). Again a blank.

Then, I tried looking for Pestles. The BM have something very similar on their database, a pestle from Panama: I wonder if that's what these are ?
