Are these both Popeyes?

The first one is an Akro "Pop Eye" for sure. The second one i would say (NO). Akro may have tried to get this to a "Pop Eye" but the base does not quite make it there, so it looks to be more of an "Ace' base color with hardly if any clear in it. Most "Pop Eyes' (must) have a (percentage) of clear transparent glass to its make-up. Chuck G---

Akro Popeyes requirements for most collectors, are to have a clear base(not translucent), wispy white(not solid) and two or more other additional colors. They can be a corkscrew or patch style marble. 

The second one is not a Popeye, not a clear base and not enough colors. By the picture the second one has no original added yellow color. The off white coloration is from some of the white at to high of a temperature.  Not added yellow, but brown, tan, temperature to high for the white. The marble is two colors, translucent white and blue.
