I was humbled into being unable to identify these two. I haven't a clue what they can be. Can anyone give a hand, please?
Thanks a lot!
Miguel

The Red baron is correct  the two guns in the first photo are Reising model 50 sub-machine guns
These were used by the US Marines in the Pacific, but a small number were also bought by the British government for issue to the Canadian and Soviet Armies

The second one is British rifle for silent fire.
As I remember ,it uses 0.45 Colt M1911 ammo.

I almost submitted it as a guess as a silencer or some kind of high powered flare gun except that it has a magazine too small for flares.

It's a De Lisle .45 calibre silencd carbine and if it's an original, is worth about a zillion pounds....

Yes, De Lisle, with Lee-Enfield bolt and integrated silencer. The most successful silence gun of WWII

Welrod made the odd-looking .32ACP silenced pistol for use by SOE operatives.

Reising? Well you learn something new every day. My first guess was a model 1921 thompson with 30 round clip from a later model of the same name!
