Welcome Jay Jay. I think that the blade Lew shows in the thread link is not a korambit since it seems that it is sharpened on the convex edge. Yours is most definitely what is commonly referred to as siraui and Lew's might be as well, though it certainly has stylistic differences. Names are often relative to specific areas and may change as they turn up in different parts of Indonesia (even differing from place to place on the same island). I wouldn't necessarily consider the info in Van Zonneveld written in stone either. He, like most of us humans, has been known to be wrong in his classifications.
