First, Welcome to the board!

Second, Those both look like Dana 60s to me.
That is a fine set of axles!
They could be Dana 70s but hard to tell without cleaning them up/better pictures.

Check this link for more help..

Look on the lower left casting web just below the brake line it will tell you what model it is. It will be cast into the web, on the axle tube it will tell you a date of manufacture.
