I agree with you too. I now remember having some spears from other areas of West Africa they are in the archive years ago though.

I suspect they are from the other end, i.e. the shoe of a lance.
And I would also guess from the West African Sahel.
Best wishes

We all agree these are from the Sahel. The shoes of lances however tended to look more spatulate, like in the drawing by Denham. I suspect these are the actual lance heads.
