As best I can tell:
The top aircraft is owned by GE, and testing the GEnx engine for the 787.
The lower aircraft is owned by Rolls Royce, and is testing an engine for the 777.

The lower aircraft is owned by Rolls Royce, and is testing an engine for the 777. Couldn't be for the 777. GE has exclusive rights to all high thrust 777's (777-300ER, 777-200LR, 777-200F, 777-8, 777-9, etc.) Since Airbus loaned an A380 prototype to test the Rolls Royce Trent engines for the A350XWB, I would assume that this engine is for some variant of the 787.
