Not wanting to poke fun at anyone, but both look like the shorter of the Lanister family on Game of Thrones! The proportion of the limbs are all wrong and although they may be Warickshire related, they're probably not Warwicks Yeo items!

Two different beasts, but they are more at home in a mythological tome as tree-hugging Beorns than in a Yeomanry collection. Luckily for those starting-out they are easy to spot. Personally, I always thought they looked good playing the double-bass!
