Few Id's and a Q.

Hola, i've had these two guys for a little while, and recently found out that they have actually spurred off new growth (though not completely where i wanted it.) I'm considering cutting the long guys off above the new growth, and then rooting them from their new roots (haven't checked the bottom of the cutting to see if it's happened there.) It would be good to have an ID too please :P
 No idea what this guy is, donated by a friend.
 Donated by another friend. Think it's more a Haworthia than an aloe. No idea whether it's rooted yet, be it my imagination, or the truth, but i thought there was less die-back when i first had it :S Was taken from the periphery of the plant.
Also: upon waking this morning, the trichocerus cuttings that i got were given an inspection, to see how they were callousing. They came fresh cut i believe, as there was little to no callous. Have i got rust on these guys? (please excuse blurry pictures, again, my room has horrible light conditions.)

 p2
 Horribly blurry bridgesii, but notice slight red discolouration along the top rim of the core, and slight black discoloration underneath finger. (it's black, the size of a rice grain, but hard, i don't think it's a major problem, just the rust - i hope not )
Cheers guys.

I'm cant give you an ID on the first two but I have one the same as the second pic.
Those callouses don't look to healthy at all. I would cut off about 1cm and let them callous off properly.

Rrrr. Thought the same thing as soon as i saw the reddish pin-dotting Had them under the damned fan, and everything! Perhaps it's why someone in another thread said one should complain when getting fresh cuttings via mail 
So, i should be looking for a greyish brown solid color, with a consistent texture, correct?

Heres a pic of a well calloused cactus. This one about 6-7 weeks.

2-3 weeks should be sufficient though.

the callous in the OP should be ok, it's just a bit of infection that usually clears up on its own. i would recut the ends though, just in case.
haworthia attenuata on the second one.

cut the face in it's enteirity, as shroomup said, or just cut off where the callous terminates at the corner, as though one is grafting? I'd probably feel more comfortable cutting off the 1cm though. It's going to be root stock / ornamental, so the several months of growth i'll lose isn't too worrying.

First looks like the beginning or end of a jade plant. The second is Hawthoria Pumila.
