Not my area but I think the one with the fancy handle might be a bit more of interest, such a shame they have no scabbard.

First picture has from top to bottom an Afghan pulwar, an Aceh sikin pasangan, and a Belida sword from Flores, Indonesia. Not sure about the bottom one. The Belida is quite rare (wish I had one).
