I would agree with you on both counts, Henry.
The first picture would certainly appear to be a Speedy, although it's lost its original front wings and may have also jettisoned the scuttle cowling.
The Cup is rather harder to identify: there are significant differences between your 1936 photo and the 1929 photo of WK 1201 on Austin's website, but significantly the shape and form of the '201' number plate is identical - it would be remarkable to find two identical hand-painted plates on different cars.
