I don't think that age and style necessarily have to go together in this case because were used simultaneously.
Shelford is the only source I have found describing the difference between pandats used by different tribes. As usual, you have to be careful with his statements based on that he did not examine that many parang when he wrote his article.

PS Probably there were much more adornments on the pandits, like tin and feathers, when they were in actual use.
