Not 100% sure but,
#1 looks like a radiata (monterey pine)
#2 looks like a japanese black pine
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

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

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