#1 - Ferocactus macrodiscus ?
#2 - Oreocereus celsianus ?

TEO,with his clues I have looked and maybe it can be ferocactus latispinus
what do you think?

It hasn't got the latispinus flat central hooked spines - but it might be because it's still small - so, yes it's possible

I would agree with Teo, it looks more like macrodiscus than latispinus

This is (supposedly) a small latispinus - just for comparison

Yes, looks like an young F. latispinus.

Small cacti of the same genus look similar.

I agree with teo about no. 2.

First is definitely macrodiscus.
