My guess is the one on the right is a Zundapp, circa 1940 ?

Just a guess on the one on the right as being a BMW... Not sure about the other yet... but still looking.
Edited to correct which bike I meant; however my guess is wrong...

I think you are right on that one... It matches up to a 1936 right down to the tail pipes.

The one o the left is a v twin Greg. Did BMW make anything other than an opposed twin?

I meant on the right -- not the left. At first it looked like an apposing piston engine; however at closer look I believe RedJay nailed that one.

I'm sure the one on the left isn't an Indian!!
Thanks for the info on the 1936 Zundapp, circa! These are my wife's Great Uncles!!

I didn't mean that I know what they are. Just answering the OPs question wondering if ANYBODY could identify them.

The one on the left looks like a 1914-1916 Indian.

Seems like everyone made V-twin bikes during the 20's and the 30's.
I wonder if the uncles had a bragging session going on.
