The first one is a Spanish FR7/FR8 bayo, post war, currently pretty easy to find.

The second one looks like a US pilot's knife, probably has a date stamp on the tang. Also post-WWII.

Those Spanish bayonets (I have one just like yours) will fit a CETME, and are available at local shows for under $10. I think they handle and balance very well as fighting knives.

It feels great and well balanced in my hand. Looking to clean it up a bit but wondering a good cleaning technique?

On the pilots knife they started issuing those in the vietnam period and still currently make them. Most of the real issued ones are marked with a maker and date stamped. If you look on one of the side flats on the butt nut at the base of the knife as that is where they are marked.
