I do wonder is this is really a keris panjang though. It doesn't appear quite long enough in the photo, but that could be deceptive. What is the actual blade length here?

Hello David, the length of the blade = 40cm / 15¾ inch, measured from gonjo to point.

Yes, i would say that is a bit too short for a keris panjang.

I looked up an photo I used in an earlier thread, and according to this standard the blade is indeed too short to be called a panjang.
it is somewhere in between

A keris of this length should be called "Anak Alang"
