Hi Kevin,
I recognise the signatures in both sets.

The first picture shows two prints by Kyogyo Tsukioka, a prolific printer of Ukiyo-e and scenes from Japanese 'Noh' theatre (1869-1927)

The second and third pictures show prints by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, similarly practiced in Ukiyo-e (1839-1892)

I cant help with specific dates, and whether they are original from the pictures, but perhaps somebody like I. Nagy would be able to help with that, although they are both likely to be Meiji period.

Here are some links to other copies of your prints:
pic 1: https://ukiyo-e.org/image/aic/109234_585585 (sorry, i couldnt find the second print)
Pic 2: https://ukiyo-e.org/image/metro/H054-026(01) (unfortunately it is only one half of the print)

Kind regards,
Tom
