I don't think so. The lettering on the obverse and reverse are near the same size on that one, the obverse lettering is much larger on yours. There are a couple members who are very good with Arabic/Islamic coins who will probably be able to pin it down for you when they see this post.
On side note I think that first one might be a jital

Both coins are Umayyad(-ish), The first coin is very unusual, combining the jerboa obverse of the Hims mint in Syria with a reverse of Misr (Egypt). Although the types are Umayyad, most likely it is a cast imitation dating from the early 'Abbasid period.
The second coin is generally similar to examples already posted but the mint, which would be in the reverse margin, is missing. Of the margin inscription, only the words "was struck this fals" are visible.

and second can be? UMAYYAD: Anonymous, ca. 735-745, AE fals (3.52g), Madinat Ma'dan Amir al-Mu'minin, ND, A-A183, W-349, F-VF, RR. The mint was probably located at or near al-Rusafa in eastern Syria, where the Umayyad caliphs maintained an important palace. Coins of this mint are of the eastern Syrian style, and have mainly been found in the region around Rusafa (now called Resafa, about 30 miles southwest of Raqqa).  |

Yes, the reverse of the 1st coin is similar, with the name of the province, "Misr" (Egypt), written across the field. The obverse is from Hims in Syria and depicts a jerboa facing right.  There are many coins from many mints of similar type to the 2nd coin. Unfortunately, the mint name is missing. A specific attribution is not possible. |
