Indonesian dagger, sewar??

Have get also this Indonesian dagger, the blade shape is very similar like a sewar blade but missing the blood groove all my sewar show and the blade is a little bit broader as my sewar blades and the scabbard is complete different but could be an old replacement. The blade I've cleaned a little bit from rust and show a nice pamor but again very different from the sewar blades I know which show a much finer lamination. The handle is of the hulu rumpung form (see Zonneveld, page 55). Would like to know if this is a dagger with a own "name" or if it is a unique piece. Sorry for the bad picture quality, the weather is not good enough to take better ones.
The is approx. 29 cm long inside the scabbard with a blade (without tang and handle) from 19,5 cm.
