Still not doubling early at DMP!

In a match to 7, I was careful to say “five-five” instead of “DMP” after my opponent had won the previous game. I was not sure he understood doubling strategy at -2-2, and I did not want to give anything away. My caution was borne out when he jumped out to an early advantage, and failed to double. He might still have doubled when we reached the position below, but for reasons of his own, he did not. My opponent on roll is on top in this first diagram.

White on roll, cube action?

Then he rolled boxcars, and suddenly it was my turn to decide. I’m on the bottom.

What are the correct cube actions in these two postions? Why?
