Yes, the blade is Madura, but the wrongko is Madura capu kagok, and the pendok is 100% correct and concurrent with the wrongko.

Capu kagok is also used in Surakarta Karaton dress, and there were ties of diplomacy and marriage between the Surakarta Karaton and the Sumenep Karaton.

I would be inclined to think that we are looking at a Madura keris dressed for wear in the Surakarta Karaton by a visitor from Madura.

Using the correct orientation for the images makes things easier to see.
