Are they litter mates ? Same sex?
Yep. Littermates. They're both male (orange tabbies are almost always
male). Ther're replacements for our Siamese guy who died at age 17 in
June (after years with diabetes, asthma and various GI disorders) and
our orange tabby who dies about a year and a half earlier (also about
17 years old).
Our last cat - Sammy - was a female orange tabby.
Cool! Orange tabby females are very uncommon.
Male calicos are even rarer.
Your two rescue kitties are really sweet looking, Mark.
We sort-of rescued a female orange tabby ourselves, about 8 weeks ago.
We adopted her from a home where she was being constantly tormented by a
very aggressive young male Siamese. After we brought her home she
disappeared into the basement where she hid for 4 weeks. We only knew
she was still down there because she ate the food, drank and used the
litter box. We finally had to trap her to go see the vet (vet's
orders!) for blood work after she became a bit ill and stopped eating.
We've been socializing her constantly since then and she's a lot less
timid and much calmer now. She lets us hold her as long as we're
brushing her, something she just loves. Here's one of the first shots I
got of her ...

She's long haired and coloured in light orange and cream. The tabby
markings are barely visible. She's going to be the subject of many photos!
