Why are the two top pieces coming from Northern Kalimantan?
I can't see the points what makes them typically Kalimantan.......except for the ratan windings, but I think the moro's did have these windings also...

I also don't see any features hinting at a Bornean origin.

IMHO the 2 upper pieces have typical Sulu blades.

The third seems to be Maranao.
