I dislike intensely getting involved in dhapur discussion, because there is this tendency to apply Javanese dhapur names to keris forms from various other places, where the same name often will not apply, and also because even within Jawa itself opinions on the salient features of particular dhapurs can vary greatly.
However, this keris is an interesting form, and I will throw a comment into the ring.
The pawakan of this blade is certainly very like unto a cundrik or cengkrong, but it appears to have a rolled edge, or back-pipe as the continuation of the wadidang, so I don't think we can apply these names.
I think it might be able to be called a ligan, as Rick suggests.
Yes, there is no uwer fitted, however, in my experience, uwer are very seldom in evidence in the vast majority of Balinese keris, especially older ones.
