If anyone can identify these two attys I would appreciate knowing what they are. I have been told that both are ERA BF. Any help would be appreciated.

Look at the wire holes on both. The pos post hole on the right is more than 3mm higher than the neg. post. Where as the holes on the left are almost parallel. Go figure!!
It looks like either an ERA or the Hornet (the smaller version)...we used them a lot before Rob got into providing BF RBAs on his site. The bottom hole on the post in the center is for juice. Just make one leg of the coil a little longer if you want the coil to ride even. It's actually a decent little BF atty. it may be a clone, but the real thing sells/sold for around $70+.
The one on the right may be a V1. The first ERAs had a 510 connection that was a bit too long and caused shorting issues. The solution was to use an o-ring to keep it from going too far and crushing the gasket on the reo.
I do on the one on the left. It looks like a cyclone cap (non AFC). The one on the right looks like an ERA atty.
Cool I have a few of the Cyclone clone and a bunch of the ERA clones. Love them all. 
I like a small atty small chamber small air hole. No cloud chasing here just TH and flavor for me
Did someone mod them or did they come that way. The clone's were all top drippers.

The juice feed hole on the one on the right looks a bit high, might cause flooding problems. The one on the left looks good. I like those small atties too, that's all I use at the moment, including the Mini A6/RM3 single coil, but the RM2 is about to go back into circulation for a reality check
Looks like the makings of a leaky mess... The juice hole are wayyyyyy to high. Excess juice needs to suck back down after the wick has soaked otherwise you will have leakage. Looks like a bf cyclone I had it would leak during a dry hit.. I didn't think that was possible but it would do it all the time.
Both holes are too high, the lower the hole the less it will leak. Stagnant juice is beneficial for nothing. Squonkers don't need a juice well.

Thanks for your comments. You say one looks like a cyclone bf. Which one? Did you notice the wire hole location on the one on the right. Oh, by the way, the too high juice hole on the left drains just fine.

I got one in a trade that being the one on the left. I bought the one on the right thinking it was like the one on the left. It wasn't and the seller was gracious enough to take it back.
Never had an issue with the high juice hole's on my Attys. But I have been at this a while. I guess for new people it could be an issue.
