I snagged this amazing photo from Filhistory, migueldiaz's Facebook page.
Enjoy.

Kino:

Thank you for finding and posting this extraordinary image. I have taken the liberty of altering the contrast and size of the cropped image that you posted to show the wall plaque with possible Indonesian keris.

I rotated the image so that it would not need to be scrolled and showed the two kris/keris that David identified as possibly Indonesian with arrows.

To my eye, the ones that David identified at 11 and 1 o'clock in your original post look like Moro kris (I think there is a single baca baca on the one with the arrow). The other sword, shown at 3 o'clock on Kino's original post and with an arrow at the top of my rotated picture, is harder to discern and could be Indonesian or perhaps Bugis--the hilt is indistinct. However, based on this picture, I cannot rule out an older form of Moro kris for this one.

Inspection of enlargements of the other plaques did not show swords that resembled Indonesian keris to me.

Regards,

Ian.
