1 could be Gymnocalycium damsii, and I think 2 could be Opuntia compressa. Also I think 'mother in laws tongue' is actually the common name for Sansevieria trifasciata but it could be for both.

I hope this helped! You would probably want to search these and see what you think, or wait until someone more experienced comments to get a real confirmation.
