rather like an e159. ‘B’ marked case plated rather than stainless throughout for the one with that caseback.
Miss mine - they wear remarkably large with superb presence for a watch with such discrete proportions on paper.

Determining the model and years of manufacture of two watches

 
 By: falci83 : October 8th, 2022-20:18
Hello everyone, I have two watches in my collection that I would like to learn more about. The first is a Jaeger LeCoultre with a diameter of 33.5 mm and the movement 478 The second is branded only LeCoultre with a diameter of 32 mm and the movement 450c....  

Sorry, picute 3 and 4 are wrong

These are the correct pictures of bottom and movement Mode ...  

The second one is 1945.

What clues did you use to determine the age?

The case number and serial number of the second watch are much lower than the first. Case: B 303805 vs 103901. Movement 359643 vs 218781.

Do you know the model / type of both watches?

I think no 1 is 2982B or 159, right? And no 2?
