hmmmm,

The ones with better mounts are associated to King Faisal era. The lesser quality ones tend to be more modern. These can come with all sort of blades I have seen wootz, European and local blades on them. The larger part of them comes with very well made local blades...

Some suggest the thicker blades to be made for royal guards... but these generally have serial numbers and the Saudi symbol. So maybe the older ones are just different.
