Are these auction listing photos, or do you have these in your possession? Even if they are auction shots, I'm sure the seller could manage a photo of the back of the other one, even if they cannot or will not pull a keycap.

I'd take a wild guess and say that both are Foam&Foil, the bottom board being Vintage F&F.

Neither are an auction.  The pics were sent to me from an electronics recycle facility.  He sent me those pics along with a couple Model Ms. 

The guy barely has time for me so I figured if either of those were worth a damn id go down and take a look.  Is that bottom one desirable?  It looks pretty cool!

Depending on how far away the place is, I’d say worth a trip and have a feel.  Must say the bottom board has a rather ‘unique’ case.

If it's not out of the way and the boards are under $5 I'd say go for it. On the other hand, foam and foil is pretty terrible so don't expect an incredible typing experience.
