the first graph is in deed BLS.
The second graph explicitly states that the source is the board of govonors of the federal reserve system. They use the census's annual survey of manufacturers which only surveys domestic manufacturers. It is data created by surveying individual plants and manufacturers in each state and aggregating into a nationwide picture. So they are clearly not counting output from US owned foreign factories.
