Default Cross cultural Indonesian sword?

This sword looks like a cross between a Sundanese (W Java) Golok and a Sumatran Klewang.
The scabbard and steel looks very much like a Sundanese Golok.
The horn scabbard tip strongly indicates Sunda and probably 19th C.
The heavy blade and its form however is more Sumatran in its appearance.
Maybe it's a custom order from a Sumatran produced in Sunda?

All input on this non-text book sword is appreciated.
