Some pics by John Powell.
"The bottom one is technically a 'sosun patta' (also the knife on June's calendar that is attached).
These are all made in India and from the early 19thc.
The "5th GR" is a ceremonial kukri made in India for that regiment (which stayed in India after the 1947 Independence). It is probably from the mid '50s. No fighting regiment ever put their badge on a scabbard.

Thanks John!

virtually identical to the first, but without the gold paint and badge. Typical Indian cho design and scabbard leather detailing. The V-shaped cutout beneath the langets is typical of tulwar scabbards, and a good indication that the handle is original, not a later patchwork job.
