What are the features of Yakan barong that distinguish it from, say, a Sulu one?

A different and smaller (shorter) punto and a different style of pommel perhaps ?
The pommel is very unlike the Sulu style as is this tagub but I am unsure whether the tagub is traditional Yakan style . This is a beauty ; great score Punal ! I'd love to see a close up of the blade ; looks interesting . |

No, it's a solid piece, no shake or rattle at all. The thing that puzzles me thought is its top, it's convertible/rag top down
