Hi Ken. Being sharpened on the concave edge puts them into the sickle-like category, and therefore common to many parts of the world. These both look like everyday tools from the Indian sub-continent, possibly hansia from Nepal/northern India, although other sources are certainly possible. From their appearance, they seem to be village quality work made for local use. Nice ethnographic pieces.
