The Bottom Knife was What Al-Mar Called the Utility Series . He had 3 Models
Model1 was 2" with Stainless Steel Bolsters & East Indian Rosewood Scales with Brass Liners & Lanyard Hole
Model 2 was 2 1/2 " with Stainless Steel Bolsters, East Indian Rosewood Scales & Swing out Lanyard Ring
Model 3 was 2 3/4" with Stainless Steel Bolsters ,East Indian Rosewood Scales & Swingout Lanyard Ring
All 3 Have Front Lock original developed through the joint efforts of Custom Knifemakers W.T. Fuller & Harvey McBurnette
The Top one looks to be a Osprey

Kennedy, thanks for the education. So, my knife appears to be a Model 3.

Your engraved Osprey is very nice. Most of them were not engraved, that was a more premium model and a little more expensive. I have a Osprey with black micarta handles that Al gave me one day when I was picking up an order of knives for the store. It's very special to me. I have one of the utilities series also, I think it's a model 2. I bought a pair of them, one for my dad and one for myself and had our initials engraved on them.
You've got a good start on an Al Mar collection!
