Hello Nicolas,
I apologize for not replying sooner. I have not visited this site for several months.
I believe the Afghan beads (spherical with greenish color) are recent--made for the fake antiquities market, probably made in Pakistan.
I am not familiar with the long oval melon-form beads from Nepal. They certainly look like old beads. I know of similar old beads from China--but not from Nepal. Anything else I might say would only be a guess.
I'm sorry I could be of more help. Be well. Jamey
