Moro Kris with Atypical Blade And A Borneo Kris For Sharing

Is there a specific way to determine if the kris is a moro blade compared to an indonesian blade or even a malaysian keris?

The reason I was asking is because I have the exact same type of kris and it made me wonder if these swords are variants of imported swords that were retrofitted to suit local palates. From what I can see the pommels were shaped in the heads of the sarimanok, legendary jungle fowls attributed with supernatural powers
