Might I suggest an European influence in the scabbard throat and chape. The general shape and form of the chape reminds me of European Naval examples of the early to mid-19th century.

I had a look in the Dutch Klewang book (Dutch Army, not Indonesian, Klewangs) and they had resembling scabbards.
Like RS, and indirectly Ian, suggests the scabbard at least is probably European or European influenced. Michael |

I also like the other blade version better but the pommel is more rare on this version. The guard is a bit unusual.
