Default Yemeni jambiya and Omani khanjar fake rivets

Hi Guys

Can someone explain why Omani khanjar and Yemeni jambiya have fake rivets?
Rivets go through the hilt but they don't fix the short tang of the blade.

I can see 4 explanations

1/ In the past jambia had long tangs going all along the hilt
2/ In the past jambiya had hilts or grips made of two parts
3/ The rivets are just practical, to assure a good position of the hand
4/ A combinaison of two of the three above

Any solid clue???
