I would say no. The Panga is an African machete that has a very heavy curved tip with a pronounced point on it. Not sure if the Germans introduced this style or simply copied it but there are claims the Panga is what a WWI colonial machete would be for Germany. They attempt to sell them as such on eBay anyway. I watch them but haven't seen one worth taking a chance on yet. The Germans did make them as their marks are on some of them.
