The both look like Cinnamon crosses. Don't see any Rex/Mini Rex in them, fur is too long.
But Cinnamons are so darn rare, you know? The color (black tortoise) is extremely common throughout many breeds. :/

Well they may or may not be Cinnamons mixes, I just don't see any Mini Rex/Rex in them...

The Rex coat is recessive, you will only see it when the rabbit inherits the gene from both of its parents. If you cross a Rex-coated rabbit to a non-Rex, the first generation will all have the normal, longer coats. If you get Rex-coated offspring when crossing a Rex to a normal coated rabbit, the normal coated animal must have a Rex ancestor (either that, or it just randomly repeated the Rex mutation itself!). When I said I thought I saw some Mini Rex in there, I was referring to body type, not the coat. The coat is clearly not Rex, but nobody would expect it to be, on a Rex cross.
