Another barong restore project

Just won this barong, I think that it is a junggayan datu barong with some badly damage. The silver/glue damage is in my opinion doable, the most mayor task will be the restauration of the beak of the pommel. Am I correct that the pommel is most probably from kamagong wood? And I am also correct that it is a datu barong? Not good to seen on the pictures from the seller but there are also ivory (?) inlays at the top from the pommel.

All comments and tips for the restauration are very welcome.
