Tenegre? & Parang Nabur?

Acquired these two on vacation last week. I'll take a gamble at the name game with Tenegre and Parang Nabur, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Both are about 24" overall, the Parang has a really thick base - a little over 3/8" of an inch and the Tenegre is about 1/4" at the base. I'd welcome any opinions about age, location, etc. One specific question I have is regarding the Tenegre: it has two sets of two parallel marks along the back edge ( I tried to photograph it as best I could). I didn't want to read two much into, but is it possible that they could be "victory marks" (for lack of a better term)? I have the feeling that marks like these have been discussed before - if someone has a link to an old discussion I would appreciate it.
