Topcat, you have information that none of the rest of us have, such as exact leaf size, and the ability to examine the trees in detail as you narrow your search. 'Japanese Maples' by Vertrees is very good, with detailed descriptions of several hundred cultivars. It is available through Amazon and most likely your local library. Without being able to examine it, and just looking at the one picture with no size reference, the tree in the second picture could be any one of 40-50 different cultivars, or even a plain A. palmatum.
Good luck,
zube
