From the pics, they both look like females but you say that BN 1 has a full beard of them?
If it has got lots of bristles and they are slightly upturned, then it is defintely a male.

How big are they? they both look female to me but if number one is small then it could be a young male.

And my female. Not great pics but you can see the difference. No bristles at all on the female.
