Hello, As for the Scabbards, they are by the same maker. The first one is the later of the two. The consensus is that TWB stands for The Working Blind. The PWH stands for Philidelphia Workhome for the Blind.

Yeah, they essentially go together, the Ontario machete was introduced in WWII, without a date its hard to pin down exactly. The plastic sheath is obviously Vietnam, they where thought to be superior to the cotton duck sheath however, in the wet Vietnam jungle the plastic sheath's holes were inadequate and the machete blade soon rusted as a result.
