It looks like BSD-4-Clause to me. This has it's own problems in itself.
Also, note that University of California have announced (in 1999) that
clause 3 is no longer required[1]. SPDX also has some information about
it but it's notes are unhelpful[2]
I believe that means the second one could be BSD-3-Clause then.
The first isn't BSD, it's BSD-ish. I could not find anything that
matched it directly. This was the problem back then, people made up
their own variations which meant some things were unclear.
So to me, the simple answer is that you don't have a standard license so
the short name is not a standard tag, make something that looks ok and
put the entire two sets underneath.
