Need help identifying mei of 2 Shin Gunto please!

[Cloudshroud]

My head hurts from  trying for days to learn kanji and translate these signatures. So I finally concede and am asking for help. Please, any information regarding these would be greatly appreciated

Ryan,

Welcome to the NMB!

We have a special translation section where there is a better chance that the experts may see your post.

Otherwise, the second blade is very probably not of Japanese origin. The signature tries to read YOSHI (MICHI?), but was done with a screwdriver. The  green (19) and the white (1973) painted symbols on the NAKAGO are just assembly numbers.
