After thinking about it and researching a bit more, it most likely is a Longbeach-Newport phase. These are also hypermelanistic and are often called "mud" or "grease" kings because of the dark look they tend to have, as if they were rubbed with mud or grease. These are from the coastal Los Angeles area.
The snakes look like they could use a little more meat on their bones though, and could benefit from a good feeding schedule now that they are in your care. But don't over do it at first, ease them into with several moderate meals and see how that goes, you don't need regurge problems with your new acquisitions.
