Hi Xerumbe

They are both indeed Re 2002. The one on the left clearly has its engine intake
still intact on the upper part of its cowling.
The aircraft on the right is much more "fallen apart" and the intake is missing and so is also quite a bit of the port wing, including its rear and also the rounded wing tip. Another photo showing exactly this aircraft and its starboard wing where one can see the rounded wing tip still in place.

Cheers
