One or two pilots?

Two photographs from the same page in an album – both taken 1940-44. Who is it/ are they? Is there enough of the aircraft in the second photo to identify it?
Cheers

I think the a/c in the second picture is a Miles Master advanced trainer, the instructors rear seat position could be raised to allow a view over the pupil in foreward seat. Picture shows it raised. A number of different marks were produced, but that shown looks like a Master 1 which was RR Kestrel powered and entered service during 1939.
