Default TWO MATCHLOCK MUSKETS for ID and COMMENT

These two pieces arrived today. Neither have been cleaned or touched so are in completely original condition. There is a little work to be done when I have time, but in the meantime I would like opinion as to origin.
The stock comb of the top one has a definite central ridge, while the other is almost flat with no ridge. The bore size of each is approx. 16mm.
So that things do not get confused I will call the top one #1 and the other #2 and will split the close up pics into separate posts.
