Hoping to confirm some finds

I'm seeking confirmation (or not?) on a couple of finds from the Peace River earlier this week.  So far my research leads me to believe I have a medial phalanx from a giant armadillo and a lateral malleolar (carpal?) from a Long-legged Llama.  

 

First up is the medial phalanx. Measurement wise I think the Giant Armadillo, Holmesina floridanus, is a good match.  The specimen measures:

1" x 3/4" x 5/8"  or  25 mm x 20mm x 16mm

Next up is the suspected lateral malleolar from a Long-legged Llama, Hemiauchenia macrocephala.  The specimen measures:

1 3/8" x 1" x 5/8" or 35mm x 26mm x 20mm

Would appreciate any input to confirm or direct me to another possibility on each.  Thanks!
