Please be aware that it's impossible to be absolutely sure about beads from images alone.

The surface pitting on the fancy on the left is suspicious for me, as is the slightly "squarish" shape. The texture and pattern as well as the poorly defined trailing is weird for the one on the right. From the photos alone, and not being able to handle the beads or view through a loupe in person,
my guess is recent Indonesian, dirtied up intentionally. Can you do an image of the perforations?
