Which military uniforms are shown in these photos?

I would suggest that the upper photo is of a sergeant, probably artillery, of a state militia unit. Frock coats of regular USA enlisted men of the period were single breasted not double.

And the lower photo appears to be a light artillery uniform circa the US Civil War. Neither appear to be infantry uniforms, either regular or militia.

Top image he's wearing the 1859 regulation marine corps dress uniform with horstmann epaulettes which was used into the 1870s. Bottom is a cavalry uniform with the mounted service jacket. The style and cut of his cavalry uniform dates it to the late 1860s when that specific image was made.
