Default Parang?

I would hazard that this item here is a local variant of a utility parang. I'm basing this on the fact that a large number of the people on Cocos were Malays, especially from Malacca and if I'm not mistaken Javanese as well. They were labourers brought in by the Clunnies-Ross family.
