I think that there is cut away a piece wood in down from the wrongko on the right side since I never have seen such a wrongko. I will show what I mean by a other sheath, the wrongko has normally a square shape. Maybe you can show us a close up from this part. The here shown wrongkos are different but it should be the general shape.

I agree with Sajen, this how the sampir (crosspiece) should look like.
And by the way the blade looks rather from South Sumatra than Minang to me (see attached example of a kris from Palembang).
