Amazed that the sheath looks identical to mine. Never saw one before with horn tip end and decorative collar.

Well, they do have similar decorative collars and a black horn toe on the gandar, yes, but these two sheaths are hardly identical. In fact, similarities aside, they are two completely different sheath forms.

Another Madurese scabbard in sandang walikat style with horn inserts, these are not that rare IMO.

Could these horn pieces be repairs? Both the buntut and the joint the wranka are areas that are frequently stressed.

IMO these horn pieces could be either stylistic additions, or repairs, or for increasing the scabbard length and matching the blade length.
