The Blakesely Effect is not a consistent effect. Some very large clips are absent the effect entirely.

, also larger straight clips can leave a very subtle Blakesley Effect.
Whenever I want to validate a coin struck on a clipped planchet, my eyes always go to where the rims meet the clip - if the rims dovetail in from the fields, it is legit.
No doubt whatsoever that both clips on the op's coins are legit. Nice error, thanks for sharing.
