The first photo is a pair of shots of RFA Black Rover at Christmas 1981 in what might look like a sinking state. I was on her in 2010 from Tristan Da Cunha to Falklands in May (ie Southern Winter) in similar weather for 11 days.
The second photo is much better weather but still rough of Black Rover. The photo clearly shows the RASCO and some of the Falklands upgrades that were fitted to these ships in their later years in service. I think the photo is off Plymouth.
