Those both look to be Wide AMs. The designers intials FG are close to to monuments edge, so that would be a Wide PM. I always remember it by the opposites: Wide PM has close initials, the Close PMs have wide initials. The FG initials on Close PMs are clearly farther away from the monument. There is a good sized gaps between the AM in your photos, the close AMs have the A and the M almost touching.
