The second one is older,you can tell by the orange decals. The first one is def better. The second has a Pantour front hub. These are the work of the Devil;my old Mu SL had one,and I'll never own a bike with one again. Also,the owner of the second one says he swapped the rear brake to clear the new tire. Those bikes had narrow rims,and it looks like those tires barely fit,so I'd wonder what else the owner has done and how well he's kept it up.
If you want specific years,try Bikepedia or Google to see if you can still find Dahon's archive.

The second is probably 2007, the first 2010 or later. I really like Pantour hubs but they need to be well-maintained and spare parts aren't available.

I despise Pantour hubs. Its near impossible to set up the brake pads just right so they don't dive under the rim under hard braking.
