Small collection of African daggers

I was able to identify the third and last dagger I described. Here they are again :

I had a look around on http://www.mambele.be/ and I think these two daggers can be attributed to the following tribes from Congo : Ngombe, Doko, Ngbandi or Mbudja.

As to the dagger with the slender blade, I'm still guessing.

Does anyone has a suggestion ? It would be much appreciated.

Pretty sure the skinny one is Ngombe etc. The grooved handle and grooved wrap resemble those on (especially "legged") swords such as mambele.
