I think the first photo is of L. olivacea. The second could be one of the L. lesliei variants.

Second looks most like hallii to me. I guess even julii is an option, or hookeri (flowers should tell).

First one L. olivacea for sure. One of my favourite species.

Second one not L. lesliei though. I'd go with L. hallii var. ochracea although its not a species I grow much. Looks like it has some damage from being peeled a little aggressively.
