shows good taste. afraid you will find UN and GP even more challenging as Breitling; tons of junk fakes and no Breitlingsource foum. Never, ever think about buying those from untrusted sources, especially UNs from South America or Australia, several US sellers are also quite active in this area.
your pics are fine, watches are not.

The serial No puts it at 1945, and 178 is correct for a Breitling with a 170 movement. The caseback engraving is aftermarket,as is i m o, the dial script.
The second watch has never been near the Breitling factory, i'm fairly certain.
although the true goods are still asleep in a different timezone, these are quite easy to call.
No. 1, the "178": massive doubts. font and spacing of model and serial numbers seem wrong, logo inscription on caseback definitely aftermarket, crudely done, very typical for our friends from Argentina. hands definitely wrong, dial not original.
No.2: typical Argentina junk, I´m afraid, no matter where it is sold from ?
