E. Java or Lombok keris blade?

Bought this keris because I liked the pelet arrangement on the batang and the blade, by themselves. Sheath is not the original, but the patcher had done a superb job such that it is quite hard to see the patch.

I always thought this blade had a E Javanese look to it, and is on the proportionately short side. But it had a polished look akin to Balinese kerises. What are the views of fellow forumnites please?
