I think it's a bangkung

Sajen - Thanks. They’re both about the same age. Long blades as well.

chmorshuutz - it does have some resemblance to a Bangkung blade, could be a later version.

Roughly 1960s for the scabbard. This is now the fourth example I've seen of this style of sword, all about 1940s-1960s in the style of hilts and scabbards. Not a bangkung, at least not of the usual type. It would be nice to know what it is called.
