Wait where did I just see that first one.
Was that on the post where someone was looking for a MCM interior for filming and someone in the UK suggested a man who had a modern flat that also sold furniture.
Love the 1st one, am I seeing the second one correctly in that the bottom drawer is actually comprised of the middle and bottom section to make one large, deep drawer. I don't see a gap between the middle and bottom handles.

First and only place i saw these was ebay - not aware of them being on here previous.
I think if you take a wee closer look on the 2nd one, you can just about make out the drawer line - aim your eyes to the left.

Yes I do see the gap on closer examination
But yes there are several of the first chest shown in a link from 21 August on a London filming location query. The three drawer model is listed as sold and they have a 4 drawer for 325 sterling. Seems like you got a great deal, although the link below may have somewhat high prices, but not too certain of the UK marketplace.
If the link below is correct and yours looks just like it they are listed as J & S Reid for Stag

First
is John & Sylvia Reid for Stag from the C range.
i believe the second one is 1950s G Plan also in Light Oak..but could be wrong
Prices are ok

I concur with Robert! The C range in light oak is definitely the more desirable finish too.

i don't think its G plan
i just purchased a dressing table (a long chest of drawers with mirror) of the same design and light oak finish. My partner found a Stag label in one of the drawers. This was a result as we paid £15. We have since been trying to find if the range had a name but can only find acknowledgement to designed by John & Sylvia Reid.

You're right,
It's a slightly earlier Stag piece.
I'm not sure if it's J&S Reid though? it lacks the simplicity of their other two ranges for Stag
Some info here on the C Range:

confusing yours with G Plan's 'Brandon' range(similar handles)
