Eastern Arms in Armeria Reale di Torino

It was interesting I was looking through some old photos and noticed that the two standing fellows on each side have dha with similar scabbards...???? Hard to say since we cannot see the detail...any thoughts? I'm curious what the Armeria Reale Di Torino catalog says about the providence of this sword.

This photo is of some Shan Sawbwa at the Dehli Durbar of 1909:
