These are in the National Music Museum at the University of South Dakota. I've requested further info and will post it if/when I get it.

Cool pics. Could just be my eyes, but that neck looks incredibly thick on the oud to the left.

maybe it's a Hawaiin oud?

Yeah, kind of reminds me of a lap steel. Hope you get more info.
