Parodia leninghausii for #1 and #2 (It's common so it is a reasonable guess)

Your original pictures
1 looks familiar but I can't call it to mind at the moment, may be a Cleistocactus or Pilosocereus. Certainly not Parodia leninghausii
2 probably Cleistocactus strausii
2 Espostoa lanata or similar.

I think 1 & 2 are both C. strausii too. They do vary a bit from plant to plant.
