Does this Dharia have an Indian Kamara blade??

My Apologies for eye straining photos so I'll use them sparingly to point out something interesting about this blades properties. It appears to have similar
attributes to an Indian " Kamara" blade in that looking from the hilt structure is
courser and grainy. The left side displays a much finer grain. There are still lots of areas that have cross scratches from past sharpening ? The Kamara blades have a damascus side and opposing a wootz? side. I can't say this is wootz but, it is fine grained on the left side of the blade. These shots are after a light etch. Your thoughts or advice on this one glasses on order. Steve

Does anyone have access to this photo I'd like to have a closer look at the blades pattern. http://www.antigaarabia.com/uploads/102-103.pdf
