I think there is no curved 'ganja wuwung' You have post some good examples on it. The most peculiar character of ganja wuwung is it's plain, straight edge, wheter it is parallel to the blade or slightly 'slanted' ( when the thickness of ganja on the front part/head is thinner than the back/tungkak. Usually no tungkakan). The slightly curved one is ganja sebit ron tal, also known as 'cecak nyander'=a slightly arched cecak lizard when it catches it's prey.
