Advice on another keris

Hi Adam and welcome to the forum.
The blade, wrongko and mendhak all appear to be Javanese to me. The Ganesha hilt is most certainly Balinese. If this were mine i would replace the hilt with a basic planar style Javanese hilt like i show below and maybe just display the Balinese hilt, which seems a fair mid-late 20th century carving.
The blade is not old IMHO and show an Udan Mas, or Golden Rain pamor.
