From this case of view I would agree because the other side of the wilah is a random pamor wos wutah so it is obvious that this "wengkon" is a product of fortune. I am a collector too and sometimes wish to see something special.

Maybe, but also maybe not.

There are several different ways that this blade could have gained the plain iron overlay to one face, the correction of error that I have already mentioned, or the failure to remove a protective plate used during production, or maybe --- just maybe --- the intentional production of a pamor tangkis.

Pamor tangkis requires that each blade face carry a different pamor.

An easy way to do this is to make an ordinary random pamor and then add to that on one blade face.

Pamor tangkis is regarded as a protective device against black magic.

We do not know exactly why this blade has this pamor, but there are several possibilities, some I have mentioned, but we could probably come up with additional ones also.
