I dunno about "brother" Rick. I see a vast amount of difference between these two blades, from the greneng to the luks and flow of the blade. M6 is more slender and serpentine to my eye. Yours also has details like the line which almost forms something akin to a tikel alis and that other incised line that profiles the length of the blade. These are perhaps both Sulu, but i think they are from different periods with M6 being perhaps the older example.
