Did you play them set to any other region or just 1? We can't just put "region 0" if regions can't be confirmed.

Also, what subtitles are available on disc 2?

I have a region-free BD player that is also DVD region-free, and a region-1 locked dvd player. I don't have any other region dvd players to test.

No subtitles on disc 2.

The discs are both confirmed to be PAL?

Ok I just checked both discs in VLC (didn't know about doing this) and under codec information both discs are 720x480 resolution with a 29.97 frame rate, so they are actually NTSC.
Just to make sure, I also checked some Region 2 PAL dvds and they are 720x576 resolution 25 frame rate.

The case says Region 4, but it plays in a Region-1 locked player. Is there a free program that can detect which region a disc is coded for?

DVD Decrypter works in checking. Load the disc and it will immediately show all the regions it is compatible for.

I checked both discs with DVD Decrypter and it shows all 8 regions.

I also just checked the American MVD Visual double-feature dvd and DVD Decrypter shows all 8 regions, so that one is also region-free though the case says Region 1.

R1 America - MVD Visual
Double Feature
Extras:* "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey" documentary (95:45)
* "Bruce Lee: In Pursuit of the Dragon" documentary (61:39)
Subtitles:None
Aspect Ratio:1.33:1
Picture Format:Non-Anamorphic
TV System:NTSC
Soundtrack(s):English Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo
Case type:Keep Case
Notes:For "Bruce Lee: A Warrior's Journey", the film footage is presented non-anamorphic 2.35:1.
Back of the sleeve incorrectly lists "A Warrior's Journey" as 100mins.
