Ian,

it will be like so many times, it could be that a sword get called in one village different as in the next village.

I would be happy with the term kelewang for the upper one and with parang ginah or parang jengkok for the bottom one, a term I've heard and read before, most probable by Gardener. But like you see when you search more there arise the next name, in Spirit Of Wood it's called anak wali (children custodian/free translation).

Best,
Detlef
