Need help with blade mark

Here are a couple of swords with similar mark, in this case nimchas from Eastern Africa. I also recall seeing this mark on saifs from Southern Yemen, but these are just outside of my main area of interest, so unfortunately do not have photos. It is possible that these blades were made in India or somewhere around the Arabian Sea as this mark seems to be found exclusively on blades from that region.
