The Willrich Vogt card posted by the OP is indeed a reproduction card.
There are 2 known good Vogt cards versions. I have attached a scan of the 2 good versions side by side.
Again, the brownish-black high contrast version is definitely not an original card.
In Viewfinder's scan the card to the left is a reprint while the card on the right is good. This Willrich card was NEVER used by the SS Hauptamt as a recruiting card.

I neglected to comment on the OP's 2nd SS card.
This card appears in 5 basic types with 2 paper sub types: thin and regular card stock.
The card is part of an 8 card series. They come with no overprint on the imprinted stamp. This was for issue within Germany itself. The 3 other series of this card were overprinted with Lothringen, Luxemburg, and Elsaß for issue in each of the respective occupied territories.
Finally, as shown in Viewfinder's scan, the card and the rest of the series 7 cards were also issued with no imprinted stamps so that the purchaser could affix his own purchased stamps and send through the mails.
By the way, finding the series cards postally used and not favor cancelled brings a premium to their value to the postcard collector.

PS: I agree with Ramon that Willrich card shown on the left and the one at the start of the thread are reproductions.Attached Files
