Hitler adopted the swastika in, I believe, 1919 and the Nazi Swastika is going clockwise and at an angle (rotate the above symbols 45 degrees to somewhat resemble a cross). A Swastika in a different style is not Nazi and anything WWI and before isn't Nazi. Most historical non-Nazi swastikas are a different style, with many going counterclockwise and a majority not tilted (the above symbols are not tilted). Swastikas have been used by the American Indians, Vikings, ancient Greeks, Indians, etc.

So, looking at the above two pictures alone and how the each symbol is positioned, one can determine that while they are swastikas they are not Nazi swastikas.
