Re: I don't know if this is real or not.
It's hard to say much without better pictures. I think both of those are real Gibsons, but I can't be 100% certain.
The Les Paul Classic isn't from the first few years of production because it has the green inlays which weren't started until later. I think the seller is trying to represent the latter guitar as an R9, but it's more likely a Standard Plus or maybe a Class 5. I honestly wonder if they're trying to hide something by not showing the headstock. Also AFAIK all R9s are shipped with a pickguard, though I suppose a dealer could order a special run without the holes drilled.
I don't think the guitars are fake, but the prices seem a bit high (even in Canadian) and I'd want more pictures unless it's a short drive to check them out.
