The first one is Aloe aristata and the second one seems to be a very thirsty Aloe distans.

I was thinking Aloe x nobilis (perfoliata x brevifolia). Distans is a form of perfoliata, so these 2 suggestions aren't that different. Agree it looks thirsty.

Thanks so much for the id's!! With regard to the thirsty plant should I be watering it now? It's on an unheated bench in the greenhouse? Perhaps I should take it indoors or move to a heated bench? Thanks
