For the first one I could suggest M.karwinskiana, for the second - check M.rhodantha, M.pringlei or nivosa. When it blooms the flowers will help to narrow down the species.

Right Mammillaria Karwinskiana yep, at least there's lots of different varieties of same species such as spine length, different areoles, Thanks!

hmmmm second one is probably going be hard without flower which sadly there's no currently buds on this plant but yes second one looks much closer to Mammillaria pringlei
-----------

First: Mammillaria Karwinskiana
Second: maybe Mammillaria pringlei
Last: Mammillaria discolor "Ginza Maru"

Your suggestion for #1 looks quite likely.
As stated earlier #2 could be M. columbiana. Possibly ssp yucatanensis

Karwinskiana has mostly white spines and white hairs in axils.

Agree about white spines in mature specimens and also in karwinskiana ssp.nejapensis. Spines on younger ones usually have brownish tips. white hairs also better develop in older karwinskiana plants imho.

...I wouldn't call #2 a pringlei. I know a couple of such plants, their spines are a lot thinner, longer and slightly curved.
