Bugis.
That doesn't help much, does it?
I don't recognise this wrongko as Bugis, but I'm not expert in Bugis styles, so it could be.
We very often see blades from one area in dress from another, its not at all unusual. Javanese rulers employed Bugis, Madurese, Balinese as mercenaries, and I've seen blades from all those areas in old Javanese dress.
On the other hand I've seen a lot of old Javanese blades in dress from other areas --- even from Sri Lanka.
No definitive answer on this wrongko, but it still reminds me of a North Coast style I've seen.
Unfortunate about the pesi --- its PESI, not PEKSI, a peksi is a bird generic, its often used for chickens --- but breaks do happen. If the tang is not long enough its easy enough to extend with a little metal cone jabunged in place, many old Javanese keris have this repair.
The remnant of the tang that is stuck can easily be drilled out.
