Long Philippine Swords

Would either one of these swords be classified as a "sansibar"? The top sword on the left is two pictures of the same sword. It is 27-7/8 inches long, 3/8 inch at the hilt and 1-1/2 inches wide at its widest. The blade is V ground. The first 9 inches from the tip back on the top edge of the blade is sharpened. The second sword (the one on the right and bottom picture of grip) I haven't received yet and all I really know for sure on measurements is the length, 28 inches. The second one reminds me alot of one other sword that I have but is much longer. Any and all information on these swords will be greatly appreciated.
