Hmmm, one with uwer, one without.

Both with ganja sticking out a bit... I did see a couple others with ganja sticking out slightly, but there were also 1 or 2 which seemed more or less flush with the sheath.

I did a quick and rough check on the Tropenmuseum collection.
Most keris on pictures being worn by balinese people have an uwer.
A lot of keris in their collection don't have uwer's.

The Tropenmuseum website is able to zoom in on the pictures.
If you are mathematical / systematical, you can get some info from their collection.
