For the first, no - it's missing the required "recipients" element.
For the second, no - the "recipients" value is missing the required
"encrypted_key" value.
Answering Richard's comment - I expect that in most cases people will put
elements such as "enc" that are common between all recipients in either the
"protected" or "unprotected" top-level headers, but this isn't a requirement.
In the worst case, should a sender use different "enc" values for different
recipients, the result will be that the JWE will fail to decrypt for all the
recipients in which the "enc" value is incorrect.

Subject: RE: [jose] Question on enc location
As a follow up. Is this legal?
{
Header: <alg:"direct", enc:"AES-GCM"},
IV: ..., tag:..., payload:...
}
Or is the line
Recipients:[{}],
Required?

In which case, it seems like it should be in the top level header, to avoid
having it repeated every time.
In general, it seems like there are "content" parameters (e.g., enc, zip, cty)
that should go at the top level, and "key" parameters that should be
per-recipient (e.g., alg, epk, salt). It would be helpful to implementors to
be clear about what goes where.

Subject: [jose] Question on enc location
Is there supposed to be a requirement in the JWE specification that the enc
field be in the common protected (or unprotected) header and no in the
individual recipient header information?
