Blade Markings on a peudeueng peusangan from Aceh

The following sword is a peudeueng peusangan ( aka sikkin peusangan, aka pedang type 2) with a Hulu Meu Apet from Aceh that just closed on ebay. I bid on it but did not win. Derreck's Antiques was kind enough to give me permission to research and use the pictures in a paper I hope to finish soon on these swords. This is the first marked blade I have seen on them. I have gotten a great deal of help with information on these swords here before and I am hoping that someone will recognize the markings. Initially it reminded me of the half moon marks seen on kaskara and such. The pictures are the property of Derrecks Antiques

The sword is the common form with a bit nicer pommel than is normally seen

Here are the markings

Thanks in advance and thanks again to Derrecks Antiques for allowing me to use the pictures.
