The top one is from a Thompson M1A1 (slightly refined design, used by the Army in WWII), and the bottom one is from the M1928A1 (earlier design mainly used by the Marines in WWII; more expensive to manufacture mainly due to the cooling fins on the barrel and the Cutts compensator, which were removed in the M1-series).

Hope that helps...
