    I think the first (75) is Quercus lobata and the second (40) is Quercus douglasii or Blue Oak -- there are so many hybrids and variations that it is difficult for me to tell which is which.

    I'd go for Quercus garryana for the first (broad acorns with a shallow cup; stout twigs).

    Agree with Quercus douglasii for the second.
