We need RickyStl to weigh in on these, as he’s the expert on middle eastern arms, but to me they look like possible ‘tourist builds’ or Victorian era builds that are non-functional arms, yet build with real parts, e.g., locks, stocks or barrels, but none ever complete so asto be fireable.
 
First gun is a Malaysian matchlock, looks genuine. Copied from early Portuguese cheek stocked muskets that were imported. Not sure about the other.
