When I play equal level conversion, it applies only to converting clubs to diamonds. With a five card major, I just overcall it.
On both of your hands, I would overcall 1♥.

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Ditto.
Of course easy to say what applies when I play ELC because I never play it, but I used to.

Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Playing strength to the level you force the bidding if pard bids your short suit. Example:
(1♠) .. dbl (pass) 2♦
(pass) 2♥ = about 14-15 hcp or less with compensating shape (e.g. a 4♥/6♣)
But, yeah, as said, with a 5 card suit that you can bid at level 1, an overcall usually preferable.
