I think the're both a bit small (low resolution), and if you scanned them with a good flatbed scanner you'd probably get better results than that.

Hmmmm, this is a bit confusing. The first image is 66.5MP, or 8485x7821. I wouldn't call that low resolution.

At what resolution does a good flatbed scanner scan?

Maybe you could post an example.

This could be the start of something old- like the old pixels vs DPI controversy.

I don't know if the Epson V750 scanner is any good, but on this page are its resolution specs: https://epson.com/Clearance-Center/Scanners/Epson-Perfection-V750-Pro/p/B11B178061

It does attempt to marry up pixels with DPI somewhere there.

The shots look "good enough to me", though I couldn't say how they compare with MF film detail. - It doesn't matter much as long as you can see the detail you want.
