Indonesian sword ID request

the seller called it Pedang Portugis

which really seems to be a collective name for anything looking like a sabre or sword with a D guard and reminiscent of a European blade but used in Indonesia from Indonesians but generally based on European blades.

Aside for this particular blade, I found several hits with google but all of them show different blades, so, I can't imagine that the name is one particular type of blade.
