Given that modern makers seem to allow for quite a bit of room regarding shapes and flow of lines, I'd be inclined to tag both as (modern) barung blades...

Hi Kai,
If you look closely, the blade profile is different than that of a fighting blade. The bottom one is used for utility

That blade is called "manuk-manuk" or simply "sundang" among the Yakan. Very useful in the farm or jungle.
