I'll do some researching in the Dutch museums and see if they have any straight ones....They certainly are far more rare than the curved ones.

I haven't seen any pictures with a Batak carrying a chenangkas so I suspect that they are all Malay, maybe originating from Malacca (Portuguese and Indian influences)?
