It is hard to tell for sure if this is a curved blade but it is certainly a basket hilt.

Good note Keith, on the sidearm on this figure appears to be an Afghan paluaor.
I did not note on the commanders basket hilt, it does have a curved blade, which if in Scottish parlance, would be termed 'turcael'.
