Default non-moro kampilans?

Hello all, this question stemming off of the recent threads on the non-moro kris and the long sword kampilan which may or may not be a visayan in origin
threads:

(non-moro)

(kampilan)

Curiously enough, lots of emphasis on south east asian swords within the moro community and other areas of Indonesia/malaysia and mainland s.e.a
Most have heard of the famous bolo and its ability to kill everything that is vegetation but apparently does not hold the same merit as a sword for war such as the dha or even the aztec macuahuitl.

The picture of the kampilan from the unidentified kampilan thread is still in question on whether it may be of visayan origin or moro. Although the fact that its made from carbonated steel speaks against it being Visayan, any thoughts as to whats the origin of tribe and date?
The second picture was taken from Wikipedia, the measurement of the blades aren't listed but I was wondering if anyone has ever seen a "ginunting" like that before (the biggest one)?
