Rare Western Cutlery L71 variations

I realize the condition of these is not the best, but I have yet to see anymore to upgrade these. These are two western Seabee l71 knives with shark handles. One is aluminum pommel bright blade full guard, and the other is Bakelite pommel, blued blade and half guard. Does anyone have another example like these?

I can't tell from the picture, is the lower knife blade flat ground or is it fullered. Not common to see a Western L71 with a full guard. Many of the L71'a came with steel flat disc pommels. Are the tang stamps identical? Can you post a close up of them?

They are both flat ground. I have seen only a few others with the birds head pommel. The bright blade knife is e only bright blade l71 I have seen.
