I would tend to raise both of these (almost identical) hands.

If you discount the turn cards putting 3 to a flush on the board, you have 4 outs to pair your A or K, and 6 cards to give you the possible nut straight draw.

That's a 'glass half full' way of saying miracle runner-runner gutshot regarding the "nut straight draw". You're also vulnerable to redraws if you spike your pair, and/or reverse domination.

I think this gives you enough equity to call a bet in these reasonable sized pots. However, I would prefer to raise as this might fold out the 2 players behind me in the 1st hand, and might buy a free card to see the river in the 2nd hand if you dont improve on the turn.
By the way, it would help to have a good read on the other players. Because raising for a free card is most likely to work when your opponents are passive. Whereas against agressive players who might 3-bet, it would probably be better to just call.

You're also more likely to buy a free card and/or force out players behind you on a board that isn't so draw-heavy. Anyone holding a J isn't folding here. Raising this is no good.
