I didn't upload at first because I mistakenly tagged them as the same beetle. This one has reddish hind angles of the pronotum. Could they be the same Limonius quercinus and L. basilaris pair that I have at home?

Limonius basilaris here...
yes, the other looks like quercinus, based on color of pronotal angles. Comparing the length of antennomeres 2+3 in relation to 4 also helps, but hard to see in this image. I have collected the two together on vegetation in GA.
