Nice spears David. They could be Hausa. I am not sure. They could also be from Central Africa as in the South Sudan. The one without a central ridge I could easily say Hausa but not so much so with the other. I myself associate the central ridge with a more easterly orign. One thing is that your spears do have a wider shoe {butt end} which does seem to be a more westerly thing. Anyway here is a picture of something similar I have. Perhaps a little longer, the white stick is 48 inches or 122cm long. They do appear a little crude for hausa work?
