Can anyone help me confirm these two chairs? I believe they are very early versions of Saarinen executive chairs without the opening in the back rest. I read that Saarinen made them without the opening initially but then added the opening because it removed the stress on the wood during fabrication. They are upholstered in leather. Any information is appreciated. 
thanks.

If these are Knoll, and they very well could be, there are examples online of Saarinen Executive chairs with closed backs being made into the 70's at least.  From the bases, I'd guess these are 60's-80's vintage.
