"Yataghans": Louvre or fake?

Well, boys, this ain't no Louvre, that much we know

Now, my next question: the blades look like yataghans, but with a "bolster"-like part being organic part of the blade rather than the handle.
Have you ever encountered similar blade construction?
Do you think these blades were created specifically fot these swords( probably during the infamous Scytho-Iberian War

) or did they use truly antique Yataghan blades?
My last question: personally, I think that these swords were made by native Celtic tribes of Guanzhow Province. Any other ideas?
