if you look at only half , it looks almost like a pangolin head and tongue, more so it starts to look like on the moro, especialy if you use the skull as an example, when you look at the skull you notice the toothless jaw.
While i don't really know enough about Dayak cultures and their weapons to form any strong opinions about your pangolin reference in regards to their motifs i can say with some confidence that i don't believe such a reference applies to the Moro kris.
