Both are real.

The army issued notes for use in their own military compounds. I have a couple of collections of these.

The second is Asian but you'll have to look this one up. You can try google.

The second one is a Chinese 1 Fen Truck note.
First one, I would guess, is British military pay script?

Without deviation progress is not possible.

Aha, thanks a lot guys. I have about 2 others of that British note in different denominations. Do they have any value?

Minimal value for either, I'm afraid. They're the sort of notes that are often given away for free in newspapers or breakfast cereal.

The British Armed Forces Special Voucher has been demonetized; it's no longer worth 50 pence at British Army canteens.

The 1 Fen Chinese note was part of a series issued in 1953. The 2 Fen depicted an aircraft and the 5 Fen a ship. Only those with a serial number on them hold any value for collectors today. The example that you have has, as Sap has pointed out, minimal value.

Yeah actually it is very small and that is why I doubted its originality.
