Hi Bob,

You are correct in both your assumptions: Euphorbia and Mammillaria. The question is which ones.
My "guess" for the Euphorbia is fruticosa because of the size and the red spines, or maybe echinus which is similar.

The Mam I'm not certain about. Looks very much like knippeliana, unless someone knows better.

Best I can do,

Cheers John

P.S. Nice plants!!

I don't have a clue on Euphorbia identification, but on the Mamm. I'd look at M. karwinskiana.

Take a look here and see what you think:
