requesting help for id confirmation of these similar coins -

Dimensions -
Coin # 84
Diameter: 9.7 - 11.1 mm
Weight: 1.35 gm
Thickness: 2.32 mm

Coin # 85
Diameter: 9.5 - 10.7 mm
Weight: 1.24 gm
Thickness: 2.5 mm

these coins came to me as Nagas dynasty coins, there are a couple of things that make me think these could possibly be coin from Mysore - 
1. the supposed Bull with humped back doesn't have a hump & coud be an elephant as in Mysore coins
2. searched & compared with a few dozen Naga coins on the net but couldn't find even a single specimen similar to the second image (both coins), though it has a semblance to few from Mysore

couple of examples (not exact match) - 
N#58801
N#41011

would be thankful for help

I agree that these look more like elephants than bulls, and are likely from Mysore. The first one looks quite similar to this half kasu, ND, anonymous, KM #146. It also looks quite similar to the photo for KM #146 in Krause's “South Asian Coins & Paper Money” 2013, so I think that's a correct attribution.
