It's a Gymnocalycium, not a Mammillaria.
I think it's Gymnocalycium baldianum.

I agree, it's definitely not a Mammillaria but a Gymnocalycium baldianum and a nice specimen. The plant behind it is some sort of Mammillaria. Not sure which one though.

The one on the back with brown spines is mammillaria backerbegiana.

I would have guessed spinossissima :-)

I stand corrected. My plant was identified in this forum as M. Backerbegiana but spinossissima seems a whole lot closer.
