The donoriko hilt is indeed very nice but the ladrang sheath seems to be also from better quality.
Maybe you can post some pictures like you can see maybe in the given threads?

I completely agree with Detlef on this which is why i stated that "from your pictures" i was uncertain. Photographs are always a difficult way to assess any keris, but proper orientation of the blade in your photographs will help the process.
If you choose to change the hilt be sure that you find a Surakarta planar hilt as opposed to a Yogyakarta one. The clearest difference other than Surakarta hilts generally being larger is the "top knot" that appears over the top cecekan (stylized face carving). This thread might be helpful to you.
