Forgive me if I am mistaken (I'm not as up on species as some here) but is that the same/close as protomelas taiwan reef?

BTW what is/about the one below it, is that an OB species and is it for sale?

I was gonna wait till after I got back from some long fishing trips in late July to buy any new fish, but I may be interested, let me know.

insignus is the old trade name for Protomelas spilonotus "tanzania"

That is a Labeotropheus fuelleborni (small chance based on the angle that it's actually skinner despite looking stout and is a L. trewavasae instead). Females are OB typically (without the blueish the male in the photo has) and males are typically BB. The fish pictured is a less common OB male, which sometimes carries the trade name "marmalade cat".
