Hello Henk,
Yes, I know the term "Balinese wedung" but we know that this knife is known as tiuk pengentas, please see here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ghlight=wedung
A tiuk pengentas has always a scabbard like the one you have shown in post #4 and a somewhat belly shaped edge.
The blade in question is from the form clearly a stabbing weapon and for sure not for ceremonial meaning.
So I doubt that this knife has had once a scabbard like a tiuk pengentas simple because it isn't such a knife.
I still think that we can call it cundrik.

Regards,
Detlef
