They both look like nice blades .
We have seen keris blades re-hilted in the European style before, but this is the first plug bayonet hilted keris blade I have seen .

They do both look like nice blades. Not something that i would find very interesting for my own collection, but i can see why they might attract others.
Also a shame that the Prussian hilted one has the hilt attached backwards to the usual usage of the blade. Makes it even less appealing to me, i'm afraid.

With the hilt attached backward, it seems that the person who fixed it are not familiar with using Keris as a weapon...
