WE RE- DEFINED THEIR DISTANCES THE COMPARISON OF THE CMDS WITH STELLAR ISOCHRONES REVEALS THE PRESENCE OF AN OLD STELLAR POPULATION (12-13 Gyr), WITH [Fe/H] >-1.8 dex IN BOTH GALAXIES higher than the spectroscopic estimates, higher than the typical UFDs metallicity WE CLASSIFIED PSC II AND PEG III AS AN OO-I SYSTEMS BASED ON THE PERIOD OF ONLY THE INNER RR LYRAE STAR THE FIRST UFDS OO-I SYSTEMS ISODENSITY CONTOURS DO NOT SEEM TO SHOW EVIDENCE FOR AN IRREGULAR SHAPE WHICH MIGHT HINT TO THE EXISTENCE OF A LINK/STREAM CONNECTING GALAXIES TO BETTER CONSTRAIN UNCERTAIN PERIODS (V4, V2) WE ARE COLLECTING ABOUT NEW 10 PHASE POINTS (JUNE 2017) IMPROVING LIGHT CURVES SAMPLING SEPTEMBER?
