It is unusual to find examples of that machete in Spanish museums, I have not seen them in the Museum of America or the Ethnological Museum. But you can find a plethora of Moroccan weapons in the last one. Dominica became independent before the development of that kind of machete (they asked again to be part of Spain in the late 1850s for a short period).

I believe those blades have nothing to do with North Africa. And there is no utility as a tool there, either.
