2nd image: The folding fan crest is on Minamoto no Yoshitsune's armour. Hizamaru was Yoshitsune's sword. Therefore the black sword is Hizamaru.

3rdd image: Yoritomo and Yoshitsune were siblings, which could explain the matching outfits of the swords. Their father was Minamoto no Mitsunaka, and part of his crest (the flower part on the top) appears on the buttons of the swords. Mitsunaka was the person who ordered Higekiri and Hizamaru to be forged.

Based on the above it is highly likely that the new swords are Higekiri (white) and Hizamaru (black). Sorry for asking, but isn't the father of  Minamoto no Yoritomo and Minamoto no Yoshitsune was Minamoto no Yoshitomo? Not the Minamoto no Mitsunaka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoritomo
