Hello Willem,
I agree with your statement. In his book "Tafsir Keris", Toni Junus calls this style of pendok "Kasepuhan Cirebon" or Old Cirebon.
I attach 2 pics of an old piece from my collection.

PS: One (not particularly reliable) book published by the Jakarta National Museum in 1983 attributes this style of pendok to Banten and not Cirebon.
