Ohh nobody answerd the question about the two mekugiana so i will do my best.

The blade is suriage that means shortend at the nakago and the lower mekugiana could be the first original mekugiana. Also it could be more shortned and the real first mekugiana isnt there anymore.

So the blade dont have the orignial lenght anymore what makes it harder to estimate the period by sugata.

I would say early shinto or late Koto.

 

It looks like it still has funbari or  i am wrong ?

Not easy using images.

 

Id go late Muromachi too. The blade appears to have seen some polishes, looking at the Hamachi, hamon and slender shape. 

 

Originally, don't look to be katana length

 

Style of suriage, straight chop, think that comes under the heading "keicho" suriage.

 

Id go with what Steve said above.

 

Decent one too.
