The outline does looks similar, but the carvings does not.

The ricikan at the back of the blade (below the 6 gold dots) looks more like a turtle beak. Just my imagination.

Oh yes---you're right---I missed all that foliate carving.I'll try to remember to look at all the pics next time.

I agree with Alan and Shahrial,
So? Maybe it is good to call this rocker's hilt as: "Madurese Putri Kinurung". Another angle from this rocker's keris in this following picture:

I wonder how the blade is sheathed? Won't the gold ring be an obstruction?

Shahrial,
I took this pictures last year. And unfortunately, I forgot to take fotos of the sheath. If I'm not mistaken, the sheath is Solonese gayaman, iras (one piece of wood) and of "jati gembol" wood his favorite. Jati gembol, is the "sick" teak wood, so the grain of the wood is more illustrious. The sheath's hole is normal, maybe a little bit wider in the ring's part. Anyway, no problem with the sheath..

I see... probably a wider opening (cross-cut), to accomodate the ring. Thanks.
