Very well made! They look intense and purposeful. The B&W is a bit too much of a low key to my taste. I'd increase contrast and up the mid tones by few points, gently. Great stuff!
The 1st needs to cropped tighter to get rid of the space at the top and it's also a bit dark. The 2nd is the better of the two but could also be cropped a little tighter from the top and right side. Just the $0.02 of an old USAF photographer.

2, these are very underexposed. I would also crop them much tighter.
An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
