tmkroll and omnipaul have it right. In the 2nd one, you need 6 black pawn captures on dark squares but you have only 5 white pieces that could have been sacrificed on dark squares. Position 2 is illegal.
Position 1 is legal because the doubled pawn is on a white square, which means you only need 5 dark-square captures.
I think this is the best summary! Well put, Mr. Dogg, and nice puzzle! =)
of course both of them are - likely no way
