Part 2....Reach this position legally in five rolls

The original problem, which I am now calling "Part 1," stated that (from the opening position) you are to find the fewest number of rolls to reach the above position, with White having rolled/played last, and both sides having played perfectly according to XGR++ evaluation. As nobody has yet responded, I am revealing that for my solution the number of rolls is EIGHT. Can you find my sequence or match it? (Or beat it?)

Part 2 of the problem is an after thought. There is a way to reach the above position merely LEGALLY but in just FIVE rolls, with Blue playing both first and last. Can you find it?

I will post my solutions to both Part 1 and Part 2 tomorrow (Tuesday) night.
