On the left like a bichaq, and the right of course Khyber, but both have unusual mounts.

Hmm...gee...errr...Pakistan?

There have been so many conquering hordes pass through Pakistan, they must have left behind knives like these at some time that were then adopted by the locals. Indo-Persian and Khyber knives are found in neighboring countries. Seems like the right part of the world to me.
