Can't help you on the first one, but the one at Tom Reilly's is still there I believe. I saw it there in '99, and the project was moribund at the time due to financial reasons on the part of the owner. It had originally come from Russia. I believe that this aircraft is now being worked on again though, as I saw an article in a very recent flypast (Septembers?) which showed this P-40 fuselage well on the way to recovery. Hope this helps.
