Could I request a clarification of what you mean by "some extent"?
Reason being, that when I could not place this greneng from my own memory, I then spent quite a bit of time trying to find a match in books & other published works, but I could not locate a match.
This greneng does display elements of other greneng forms that are pretty much standardised forms, but none of these are a match for the posted photo.
One of the major indicators for a Javanese keris classification (tangguh) is the rondha, & sometimes the complete greneng, if this greneng under discussion does not fit within the matrix then we might need to start thinking along somewhat different lines.
It is regrettable that you were not permitted the opportunity to produce a reasonably clear photograph, I really cannot see important details very well at all on the photo posted. I did massage this photo through Photoshop, but it is such a small image that it pixelated and became even harder to read.
