The first is sooty fawn like my Bob. The second, I'm guessing, a magpie harlequin? More white than they usually have though, but after a few crosses that's what happens!

Archie looks like a dwarf lop to me. Izzy is a lop, probably dwarf or mini. In reality they are likely a heinz mix, but you would probably use their weight to decide whether to class them as mini or dwarf lops.

First rabbit, Tortoiseshell (shortened to tort) but in lops it's usually called 'sooty fawn'
Second rabbit is a Magpie
