I am not sure what these files are an example of, but they both appear
to be completely normal to me. There is some very slight clipping on
some peaks around 3.4 seconds into the "phones" file. But if these are
the levels you are getting for the original recording, you are better at
setting levels than I am. I would have been more conservative unless
I had identified the peaks on the vinyl and set the levels accordingly.
(which may be what you did???)

DO NOT compare levels from a vinyl disc with anything coming from
a modern CD, even the same performance of the same music. Note
that the dynamics on modern CDs are MUCH more processed than
vinyl discs ever were.
