ORC only NN AK NC FNC: V1 and RK2

So it is:
ORC: odd rows and columns are 1-9 no repeat; even ones are not (i.e. they can repeat).
NN: no nonets
AK: Anti-King - diagonally adjacent are not equal
FNC: Ferz Non-concecutive - diagonally adjacent are not consecutive
NC: adjacent cells are not consecutive

Vanilla Puzzle ORC 1:

Solution to V1 corrected - thanks Andrew.

Take care if you solve these in JSudoku take care - recursively solve works but some of the solvers (e.g. X=wing) make mistakes.

The Vanilla V1 was straightforward, just applying the AK, FNC and NC rules, so I didn't write a walkthrough for this puzzle.

And then I did the Repeat Killer V2. At first I struggled, because I'd overlooked one of the rules (see my walkthrough). So I started again and it was fairly straightforward.

Here is my walkthrough:
Odd rows and columns normal, even ones can have repeat numbers, no nonets, anti-king, Ferz non-consecutive, regular non-consecutive. So adjacent numbers in any direction cannot be consecutive; adjacent numbers cannot be the same diagonally or in odd rows and columns. All cages repeat, either {AAA} or {ABB}

I was struggling at first because I’d forgotten that NC also applies within the cages, so I started again.

Prelims (not taking account of interactions between cages)

a) 23(3) cage at R1C6 = {599/977} (cannot be {788} because of NC)
b) 6(3) cage at R2C1 = {114/222}
c) 23(3) cage at R2C4 = {599/977} (cannot be {788} because of NC)
d) 11(3) cage at R2C7 = {119/227/335/551} (cannot be {443} because of NC), no 4,6,8
e) 19(3) cage at R4C2 = {199/388/577/955} (cannot be {766} because of NC), no 2,4,6
f) 8(3) cage at R4C2 = {116/224} (cannot be {332} because of NC)
g) 16(3) cage at R4C7 = {277/466/844} (cannot be {655} because of NC), no 1,3,5
h) 11(3) cage at R6C1 = {119/227/335/551} (cannot be {443} because of NC), no 4,6,8
i) 8(3) cage at R6C4 = {116/224} (cannot be {332} because of NC)
j) 23(3) cage at R6C5 = {599/977} (cannot be {788} because of NC)
k) 9(3) cage at R6C6 = {117/225/333/441}, no 6,8,9
l) 5(3) cage at R8C1 = {113} (cannot be {221} because of NC)
m) 13(3) cage at R8C6 = {229/337/553/661} (cannot be {445} because of NC), no 4,8
