Default Long Glat (?) mandau with questions

I received this mandau yesterday, I guess that it is a Long Glat mandau.
Most of the hair at the nose is lost, the handle binding is glued at the wrong position, the resin "ferrule" is missing as well the ring at the scabbard mouth. And the blade is varnished with some sort of clear finish.
The concave/convex simple blade is marked at two places, is it a sign of more recent manufaktur? I ask because handle and scabbard shows nice patination.
Is my attribution correct? Age? Any other comments?
