OK.  These are now  A328637 and A328638.

Maximilian, I added the name you suggested for the first sequence but
realized that A125624 doesn't have a 1 (or 0) in its first column, so the
name isn't quite right.  Also, per David's suggestion, maybe the zero
should be dropped so the sequence has offset 1 and conforms to the usual
list offset?

David, thanks for the name suggestion for the second sequence.  For now I
added a(0)=0 in order to be consistent with the first sequence , but that
will likely change.
