I like the first one, it shows a dessertic place. IMO ther is quite grainy, I've developped on my darkroom days Tri X and HP 5 with D-76 or Ilford ID-11, almost the same formula and the effect of temperature had a certain big influence on the grain, I think remember that I prefer D-76 at 1:3 to achieve a more large range of tones, and I does a systematic quite vigourous agitation. I'm sorry to explain this, I want just tell you what I remember. On the other hand I see on your EXIF that you have scanned these with a Plustek Scanner 7500i, I was just planning purchase one of these, I know that there is the 7500i SE and AI, and I don't know which is the difference. I scann with an Epson Photo 3170 flatbed scanner, I'm quite happy for B&W but not for color. Are you happy with your Plustek? Please continue showing us pictures of Afghanistan, I enjoy them!
