Help with identifying spears

Hi all, can anyone help me to find out more about these 2 spears.
I found them in the loft so must have been left by a previous owner. I had been living in the house for about 5 years before I noticed them right in front of me!

They would both be about 73 inches long but one is shorter as it is missing it's iron pointed bit on the bottom but i think it's here somewhere.
Thanks for any info.

I think they are Tutsi, Burnudi. Freddy might be a good member to PM or email for another opinion.
