Thank you so much Lee, for your input and for the inclusion of those very nice examples.
It seems as indeed regional lances and similar items, being procuced by the local multiuse smith, didn't have the care taken by arsenals, like centering the socket to the blade an with give it enough material for full wraping.
Herewith pictures of three more examples, foccusing on such sections, with a "would be" ID:
A XVI cent. hunting lance, a XVII cent. defence lance and a XVI-XVII cent. polearm head.
Although clearly belonging to different breeds, their rusticity speaks for itself.
