    No that I have any doubts, but still, it could be nice to get confirmation from more learned members of this forum.

    Yes, that's what they both are.

    Yep.

    For additional points, Norway Spruce can be distinguished from other spruces (Sitka Spruce, White Spruce, Blue Spruce, etc.) by its large cones (other spruces almost all have cones less than 14 cm long) with 'cut-off pointed' scales (most spruces have more rounded scales).
