I am learning a lot following up your posts

I found a source which quotes another reference book (I suppose none of this is set in stone)

"...differences between the Latok and the Buko according to Shelford:

LATOK BUKO
Hilt Transverse grooves Carved head
Blade length +/- 52cm +/- 45cm
Blade largest width +/- 5.5 cm +/- 4 cm....."
