I am indeed convinced they are not Yugo now that I dived in and got feedback. Yugo, as Fert stated, never have mm/cm indicator, and most often are preceded by Гp, e.g., " Гp37". Also, Yugo indicator for lot is the letter C.
But are both Czech? Date-wise they are pre-occupation, but why the different dating? One shows "1-39" the other 15-8-38". Often Skoda export is not identifiable as such, for example, the Dutch and Finnish 7,5 cm AA vz37 shell case is exactly like normal Czech.
