1796 LCS - Early Woolley Blade with Later WDD Scabbard?

The center example of the fluted ebony grip brass hilt cutlass is one Mark Eley had and we discussed here in 2008. Note that his example of the same type hilt differs in having the regular hollow ground blade rather than the Montmorency (Wooley) I noted.
This suggests these were limited run of a type with cutlers using different blades, As indicated, I have seen one other example of these in Wilkinson,
