Those both look male to me. At 350g they should be about 5" and should be starting to show secondary sexual characteristics - and I would bet they are male! The second picture really is looking male the first one is not as easy to tell from the picture.

When I looked at the photos I instantly thought both male but I’m still learning so didn’t want to comment until someone more experienced had.

Here is a 4.5" 375 gram male that I have. The anal scutes look much more like a moustache on mine than they do on yours / his.

I realise I didn’t update this post. I went to see the seller, put the tortoises in warm water and they were male indeed, they both showed it to me lol.
He seemed surprised about me asking for warm water to soak them, he apparently had neved done it...
