Are these Shafras?

Salaams Ibrahiim ,
Shukran, a very thorough and informative response . These two most likely would have been belt knives. Their sheaths making them a bit uncomfortable between a Khanjar and ones ribs. They also show the deeply recessed area that would help keep them in place on a belt.
Your excellent photos of the various styles complete the explanation. Your efforts are appreciated.
Lew, your response and photo helped dispel the shafra idea.

Thank you, Steve
