I'm no expert on these two marques, but isn't it odd that the 'Mercian' appears to have bilaminate lugs, which I don't happen ever to have seen on a Mercian, whereas the 'Paris', a brand which went in for quirkiness including bilams, looks completely standard.
They both look perfectly good frames, but resprayed and with unattractive non period kit.

Someone has gone a bit Paris decal mad on this one:
