As far as I know - this type of axe is a Matabele or Zulu type, and the other axe you posted the Mashona pattern.

Regards.

These axes were used by several Southern African tribal groups including: Zulu,Swazi, Tsonga/Shangaan, Shona & Ndau. In fact one Swazi regiment used this particular type to identify their regiment from other Swazi regiments.
