This is a Bugis-like keris, not a Bugis keris. To find the answer to your questions, perhaps you should try to ask the makers, who are probably still producing these Bugis-like kerises now.

agree.. it is meant to emulate the stye of the Tappi Sappukala or the Sepokal Keris of the bugis... But though there is a very slight curve to the blade... the overall look simply does not fit in to the Bugis Sepokal design...

The pamor is too refined and complex for a Bugis blade... there are Bugis and Bugis influence blades wth excellent examples of pamors.. notable those from Palembang,Trenganu & Sumbawa... but i believe this is far too refined and does not give a feel of a bugis blade...

This blade may also be missing a ganjar...

I was thinking it looked a bit odd for an Iras .
The pamor seems well controlled and imo goes along nicely with the grain of the Gonjo ................errrr wrongko .

Should I have been mistaken in my initial asessment about the missing ganjar... may we be given a look at the base of the ganjar... the the form of the sekar cicak... would be a good indicator...

None at all; my comment was in reference to a deleted post that is a bit back up the list of replies to this thread .
