At the Osuna's relief seems the guard have two pommels, too.
If the blades are 70-75 cm long, to be the whole sword 105 cm the hilting part must have been almost 30 cm long. It's not a exageration:
Trilobate pommel: 10-12 cms. with a pommel diameter of circa 6 cm.
Hilt: 10 cms (a range tipical in imperial swords)
Guard: 5-10 cm.
So, in my opinion, that sword could be a hispaniensis.
