Pretty sure neither actually qualify as a MacGuffin.
It doesn't fit either of the criteria.
-Is the nature of the item interchangeable?
-Is the nature of the item irrelevant to the plot?
If the answer to both is 'yes' it's a macguffin.
They're a long way from the contents of the briefcase in pulp fiction (we don't even know what it was, so obviously it doesn't MATTER what it was), or the diamonds in snatch (which could have been anything of high monetary value).
