The first one I'm afraid I would guess is a mix between a Northern and an IJ.
The second one, I've never really seen anything like it. I wonder if it's a Tanimbar, or has Tanimbar in it… I think someone else is going to have to tell you on that one. Sorry.

I'm afraid I agree with Susann on the top one -- IJ x Northern cross.
The second one has a lot of Tanimbar features, but it doesn't look "typical" enough to me, so I would not be surprised if it's a hybrid or intergrade, too.

De rien.

Probably the safe thing to do.
