err, no.

appears to be made of steel, looks like it maybe a '91ish AVR frame. see here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/mai ... fb5561f034

Agreed - the external sleeve / butting at the top of the seat tube, and rust on the non-drive side chainstay.

The other frame is difficult to say, if it is a Diamond Back, looking at the forks I'd say from 1990.

Has this been listed on ebay, now?

'cos if it's the same one it says "Believed to be an Axis"?

Believed by whom?

I believe it's been suggested the frameset is AVR - if so, it's not an Axis.

If the seatpost diameter is 30.4 it might be. If the seatpost diameter is 27.0 it's an Apex or lower - least that's what the dimensions would be in 1991.

Cable routing suggests 91(maybe 92) or earlier.

I have done a lot of checking to and other than a splatter paint job it is the same as an axis, yes 30.4 post
