The second one looks to have "Cork" cancellation. Will look in my postmarks book to see if I can identify the first one.

First one appears to be the number 21 in a horizontal oval, used from 1844, used in the Woolwich/Wanstead area of East London.

The Crown above Registered was to signify registered mail. The letter P possibly signified that the appropriate fee had been paid.

Both covers have the red double circle postmark:
(AUS ENGLAND PER AACHEN) / FRANCO
This "marque de passage" was applied in Aachen on mail from Britain entering Prussia.

The 21 in a diamond barred postmark is an "Inland Section" London head office postmark.
