I have not seen many examples of these anywhere and would appreciate some opinions. I trust the sellers but want more opinions on if they are genuine or not.

I've haven't seen examples of Heeresdiensthund ekm in such material.

I have seen some more here on this link. Does this help? Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums

If you trust the sellers then go for it.
My opinion is

A) it's easier to fake than a SS EKM
B) The Heer (WH) is a different entity than the SS - why does the dog tag show Heer (Army) and then also the SS runes? If anything it should be marked SS diensthund.

Dachau tag is good

The SS K9 tags im Not sure about, Look ok to me.

Heeresdiensthund usually in stainless steel, but with these runes not something I would be chasing.

I have a similar SS guard dog tag and had it looked over by somebody who is focused on dog related WWII German items. He told me they are very rare and well done on picking up an original.
