Default simple rope toli toli

In addition to this old thread I found a picture of a similar simple toli toli on the website of the Tropenmuseum at Amsterdam.

Are there other examples where the toli toli is extremely simple compared to the rest of the keris ?

I've seen quite a few examples of such kerises with fabric toli-toli, even on pieces with legitimate old gold pendok with red staining (i.e. a royal piece). That piece came from a European dealer, and was unlikely to have been messed with. Hence, I'm inclined to believe that fabric toli-toli are proper for old Bugis kerises.
