I think I agree with Gerard, but both look deficient, I would say they need trace elements and a good liquid feed.

Agreed!
#1 definitely radiata, #2 I don't think JBP but could be

It's hard to tell #2. And I think that is because it is under nourished.

yes it probably is Jarrod. I just dug them up this afternoon and potted them. they had been growing in poor conditions, so they may struggle for a while
