I think i would fall into the camp that would tend to believe that if you added some of an old and powerful keris into a new one with directed intention then it would make that new keris a more valuable and powerful pusaka.
Two pamors in one blade, javanese call it "pamor dwi warna" (literally means, two colours). David is right, pamor tambal and sada sak ler. (Tambal = patch, and sada sak ler = a piece of palm leaf rib...). Or just call it pamor 'two in one'.

There is also "kendhit mimang" in your ganja. A bold line, in the middle, along the ganja. According to local belief in Java, a keris with "kendhit mimang" in the ganja is good for the owner against theft...
