there are some originals with a lenticular cross section, but the mass is a diamond shape.
that suggests that the lenticular ones may have suffered more from corrosion than the others and in fact all blades may have been diamond shaped, but that`s just a guess.
IMHO the best way to work on any reconstruction is not to think in archaeological "types" and their definitons but to study an original as properly as possible and to get (and use!) as much data as available on it
but in the end, the result will always be an interpretation and not a 100% copy
that`s impossible to make
