Where are the rollouts for Donkey Corner #10 and the variant?

For the first position, QF suggests 13/11 8/2 but I can't see how to justify it. 13/7 6/4* is what I like to play in this sort of situation, but I suspect that 13/5 is better. They both leave 21 shots but after 13/7 6/4* White hits twice with 64 43 33. I'll go with 13/5.

For the second position, my instinct is not to double. But we lose our market by a mile if we hit, and we have 15 rolls that hit. If we miss, we might still get a chance later. We reduce White's gammon value by doubling. All these are arguments for doubling, but I would still hold.
