to profile keris buda, I saw in a 'pamor' magazine, published in Indonesia in its first edition in 2006, I see there are already some form of dapur in there, so I thought maybe it could be like that.
AFAIK keris buda is not determined by the shape of the pesi, but by the broad shaped dhapur that is commonly associated with it. If i am wrong about this i hope to be corrected...
