Thanks.

I am currently working and staying in Thailand which made it easier to get in touch with these.

Default Coteng length versus Tajong
I have thought that the length of the Coteng is often short. However, I was wrong as there are some longer one...

I was told that the wooden Coteng Hulu are older then the silver one. Any comments?

This is not really my area of keris study, but this hilt you show in post #15 looks closer to the tajong form than the coteng form. There is probably some cross-over somewhere. Perhaps some of our Malay collectors will chime in on this.
