Aceh sword hilts

As I understand it from looking in van Zonneveld he describes the lower hilt as a Hulu Peusangan?
The difference is because of the flattened protrusions.
Unfortunately I don't have Kreemer 1922 or Volz 1912 as he quotes from.
Peusangan is a district, as well as a river, in North of Aceh.
So Hulu Peusangan is just a hilt from Peusangan.

The hilt looks like a crocodile so Hulu Buaya seems to be a probable, and fitting, alternative name for this hilt.
