Hello Becca,

Welcome to the Forum.

Both of the cameras & lenses you showed in the Collectors & Historica section are quite nice. Both cameras are from 1954.

Many earlier Leicas going back to the 1930's look quite similar.

Your 2 cameras are improved & upgraded versions of those earlier cameras. The changes, a number of which were internal, were made as new advancements were developed. They are both quite usable after they are cleaned, lubricated & adjusted by a skilled person.

Best Regards,

Michael
