We cannot reliably date these blades, there is not as far as I am aware a parrallel Balinese system to the Javanese system of tangguh, so we cannot really classify them. 
 
It is probably possible to give them a dhapur, in accordance with the data provided by Lalu Djelengga. 
 
The pamor in both cases is a simple m'lumah style, that most people would call wos wutah. 
 
Yours has the remnants of kinatah work, which probably indicates original ownership by a person with rank. 
 
I doubt that there is much more that anybody could say about these blades --- except that they are very nice, very typical Balinese blades.

Hello Mr. Maisey,
 
isn't the pamor of my keris not a sort of a wengkon? 
Here some closeups of the blade.
 
Regards, 
sajen
