I think you will find thats the first picture is standard Indian tourist junk from Dehra dun the home of lion headed, chrome plated kukris, Tim.

The sword looks much higher quality to my eye & I cant personaly see any design simmalaritys, but perhaps the man with the sword to hand can?

The second picture is a Nepali knife & could possibly be WW2 era I would say.

Congratulations on that one.
