If I had to pick only two breeds, I'd guess a Netherland Dwarf/Mini Rex cross. A lot of the broken Dwarfs have very minimal spotting, so a lot of them look like "Charlies" even though they only have one Broken gene. The type is way, way off for a Dwarf, but I suppose you could get there from generations of crosses done by someone who has no clue what a Netherland Dwarf is supposed to look like (like a certain local breeder that I know!!). Definitely do not see Californian or English Spot.
The white markings on the face of the Chestnut are most likely caused by a Dutch gene. Although BEW is possible, it is unlikely; most white noses and feet are caused by Dutch genes rather than BEW (which, though showable in several breeds, is still a fairly uncommon color). These buns might be the result of a ND/Dutch cross, but a bit further back; I don't believe either parent could have been a purebred Dutch.
