Both taken in Cyprus by my brother, any ideas on genus or species would be great

Could number 1 be Lacerta troodos? and number 2 Laudakia stellio cypriaca?

It appears the latin name for my guess on pic 1 is incorrect and should be Phoenicolacerta troodica. But Fauna Europaea does not account for this name or Lacerta troodos within Cyprus. Any help appreciated

The first animal is possibly a male Greek Algyroides Algyroides moreoticus. The keels on the scales, partularly on the tail, rule out any Lacertids.
