Offhand those are both identified in the big isopod book, floridana and parvus. My parvus are around 1/3 orange (culture not individual).I currently have:
A. vulgare
A. nasatum
a ludicrous amount of Porcellionides pruinosus
And two, as of now unidentified species. Both were collected along the Alabama Gulf coast back last summer. One I believe might be the same species as Kyle's Oniscidae sp. "Florida Fast."

The other is some variety of very small pillbug. The best guess Kyle and I have is Venezillo sp, but we aren't sure. Good news is both of these species seem to be reproducing alright. I started with only a pair of the pillbugs and I have about a dozen now.

Trachelipus rathkii "Rainbow", and Trichorhina tomentosa.
I am interested in keeping anything I don't already have, just please pm me. I just can't get enough of these guys.

Below are some pictures of the wild caught isopods I have from here in Rochester, MN. Sorry they are poor quality, and I don't know how to size them to make them fit in the window better.
They are probably something common, nothing special.
I can't tell but it looks like you have a couple different species. Good luck with breeding them!

Sorry about the quality of the photos.

Porcellio sp. "Orange"
Cylisticus convexus
Armadillidium maculatum
A. vulgare 'solid'. I am trying to separate the two forms I have found near me.
A vulgare 'striped'
Lirceus fontinalis
Oniscus asellus
Porcellionides pruinosus
I will try and get pictures of the other species I am working with.

Cool! Isn't the A vulgare 'striped' color (yellow) something that some get when they get much older?

I thought so, but I have some giant solid colored adults. So, I am assuming there are two different variations in this population. I'm just trying to see if I can separate them.
Unless of course they are different species, but I'm pretty sure both are A. vulgare. They were found just north of Atlanta.
