Origin of blade???

The 2 times I saw keris blades with 'awkward' luk, especially the last luk (displaced a bit too much to the right), was with 2 pattani keris blades. However, the hexagonal cross-section are also quite telling of a Bugis influence. But we hardly see 'true-blue' bugis blades with waves as pronounced as this. By true-blue, I'm referring to blades produced by the Bugis people, and not produced by people in areas under Bugis influence. So this could be a peninsula blade, I reckon.
