I agree with Maurice. To be a proper mandau the blade must be convex on one side and concave on the other. I cannot tell from the photo if this is the case with the last blade on the bottom, but this one seems the best candidate for actually being a mandau. The first two are not, though the middle one is a beautiful sword.
The top one looks to be aimed at "those who travel for pleasure".
