Hang,

It's hard to see on the dark pictures.
But the last picture, based on what I can see, the curved is probably either a Malay Pedang or a Batak Piso Podang.
The straight one is also known as a Chenangkas.
On the first picture I can only see a couple of Pedang, as well as other swords.
And no "Parang Nabur".
If you make the pictures lighter and larger maybe we can tell for sure based on the details.

On the first picture it looks like a Murut Pakayun (Sabah) and to the right of it European (or made in European style) swords?

The one on the right looks like a typical Tjikeroeh / Cikeru sword from Java.

Made in european style and often with name and date in the blade.

if you lighten the picture, (i used irfanview on auto-adjust) the circled one does look like the typical japanese sword form. the area in question was in the trading area of japan, and i believe some of the ruling classes were impressed with their swords and made local copies, though not in the same way the japanese did.

Imho not only the trading area.
during WW 2 Japan occupied most of South east asia. In Indonesia they made there own local militairy katana's for NCO's.
And after the japanese were defeated and Indonesia fought for independency the TNI / Tentara Nasional Indonesia ,was also equipped with these home made katana's. (and any other weaponry they could lay there hands on)

As there is also a javanese 'tjikeroeh' sword in this display, the katana might well also be javanese or indonesian.

Best regards,
Willem
