The word "tambal" means a patch.

This is so in both Javanese and Indonesian.

Pamor tambal is any pamor where a patch of pamor has been welded to the blade, either during its original production, or later in its life. That patch of pamor can be either mlumah or miring.

For those of you who have actually been to Indonesia, throw your minds back to the sign often seen at the side of the road:-


"TAMBAL BAN"

This means

"PATCH TYRE"

In other words:- "tyre repairs are done here", and these repairs are done by patching the tyre.

Pamor tambal has nothing at all to do with shape, or the kind of material used, it simply means that the pamor has been applied as a patch.
