I have seen geraham in a hilt that came into Australia pre-WWI.
Musium Radya Pustaka in Solo has a weapon with a geraham hilt that has been there since the mid-1970's and was already old then. (pictured).
I have several keris from South Sumatera that use this style of pendongkok.
I have seen a blades of this style in South Sumatera wrongkos.
This wrongko appears to be South Sumatera, but also appears to have been damaged.
I'd be inclined to vote for South Sumatera, Palembang-Lampung general area, but possibly with a bit of mating along the way.
