Rabbit 1 - black otter - I do not see any sign of the light shaded gene making the black more of a sepia colour which would make him a sable marten.

Rabbit 2 -neither- if it was blue otter there would not be any shading on the face. If it was silver it would be a crisper and more defined line between the light and dark areas due to the chinchilla/dark shaded gene. I believe it is a smoke pearl marten which is a blue otter with the light shaded gene instead.
 
Yep, I think the buck is definitely a black otter, and the doe is smoke pearl marten.
Cute little bunnies:)
