The first ek is a one-piece copy and doesn't look like any known original.
It comes with several pin-system, and as SB as well
And a number of markings, like 21, 50, 51etc

The second has a core that is definitely not good, there are original ek with a round 3 in the date, but this is not one of them.

The pin-system is known from '57 ek's

Best regards,
Ben

Hi Gary,
I agree both no originals.

General harware setup, font & mm not not attributable to any EK original.
