In Arms and Armour, Rolli books, 2005 by E. Jaiwant Paul, page 72, you can see these two. The text to the one with the dark hilt does not say much, other than it is in the National Museum, about the other one he writes that it is from Mysore, 18th century AD, National Museum.
I don’t know what Torben Flindt ment about the rivets, but could it be, that the ends of the rivets used in Bukhara were bigger than the ends used elsewhere?
