The Sumatrese krisses are often mixed pieces so it is a difficult subject.
For me the best reference book about Sumatrese krisses is the Krisdisc from the late Karsten Jensen and if you check it, you will find that the Minang blades usually have no pamor and are either of the straight bahari type, or short ones with 3 waves. Of course there could be exceptions but your blade has no Minang character IMO.
