Chillanum Khapwah or ???

If a Chillanum has a re curved double edged blade and a Khapwah has a double edged single curved blade. What are straight bladed Chillanums types called?
Maybe it doesn't matter! The photo of the display case shows both types of Chillanums from the Plunder of Adonis, that Jim mentioned recently. Both, Pant and Elgood identified the first two types. I'm unable to find what, or if, the straight bladed version has a separate name. Thanks , Steve
