The correct method for measuring these batteries is not to run with a constant load as suggested, but to present a load which draws a constant power (current increasing as volatge drops). This more accurately mimics the expected use case for this type of battery, which is power some electrnoic device via a dc-dc converter. It also protects the battery by switching off at a predetermined voltage, to prevent cell damage.
I have an electronic load available, like this one :-

I don't have either battery, but if one of each (plus some method of charging them) were available, it would be trivially simple for me to test them. The load just logs voltage and a current into the PC, and switches off the load at the damage level of the battery automatically. I don't even have to be there!
