I think they looks like standard or common bjeloscapi (white) Yataghans, nice ones though.
But would not go as far say they come from the same maker. If you check auction catalogues, you'll find most look alike or close to yours.

Tip: both handles could use a little restoration or threatment to stop the splitting getting worde and I would recommend to give the right one in the second picture a nice soft cleaning to avoid deteriorating and bringing it back to its former glory. You will be very please by the result !

More info on the yataghans you can find in some older threads:
