What kind of Kukri is this?

Hi all, new member here....
I just came across these two Kurki’s. They appear to be original and very old, no stamps or marking that I can tell. Could anyone provide any information on what kind I have here? Military or tourist and approx value would be great. See pic link below.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a long leaf blade Kukri from the Atlanta Cutlery purchase of the Nepalese Royal Armories stash. (WWI or WWII)

You can't inquire about value here without a Gold or higher membership.

Thanks for the input, value statement removed from OP.
 
Interesting. They look like a couple of old sirupate's. Handle carving seems rather amateurish suggesting a village Kami maybe. Keen to know what the informed will tell us now about these!
What is the background to them?

Unfortunately I have no background on them. I recently picked them up at a private auction.
