Odd Lantaka, where was it made?

I saw one like that recently that was firmly atributed as Thai. The regional lantaka design is a bit simpler than others, with a lotus flower muzzle. Unfortunately I don't know enough to describe diferences well, but the overall look of this oneseems very close to the single Thai example I have seen.

These Lantaka are displayed at Fort Siloso on Sentosa Island, Singapore. The weathering colour is different on each, which I guess is due to different metal mix. There are also different styles here.
