You are right . They are almost similar. There are only some little difference.
You're welcome Marco. There are some differences in the hilts, But as you can see, my two hilts differ also. Two different wayang heads. Nice detail is that those goloks that are offered here (you still can buy them) have all different wayang heads. You see them displayed on tables. Two of the white faces like mine, three like yours, three like the other one i showed you. Just like the wayang puppets.

I have another one for you. Try to identify what character your hilt is
I have a book that describes the characters of the wayang scene. You can recognize them by their hairdress. Also that part of the indonesian culture is very interesting and a study on it self.
