Flattened in which dimension? There are some Eastern European examples that look very flat when looking at the sword in profile.
I do refer to the profile of the sword. For further disambiguation, facing the edge of the sword rather than the flat. Incidentally, pictures would be most welcome from anyone who has them.
Do you mean a pommel like this either of these:
Closer to 10 b. http://www.myArmoury.com/view.html?features/pic_geibig19.jpg

A broad pommel that has a thinner cross section, rather than the fatter style of the knud.
Here are a few pics similar to the one you posted...
