The material in the second detail is "asphalt impregnated celotex board" AKA "rolled asphalt brick siding", very common in my area.

It's really not such bad stuff, it holds paint well and as each panel (about 24x36") is held on with 4-6 nails it usually comes off without additional damage to the underlying surface.
Here's how I report it:
Observation: (FYI ) Portions of this building are sided with asphalt impregnated celotex board (also called "rolled asphalt brick siding") which was often sold under the brand names of Insulbrick, Inselstone or Inselwood. This siding consists of a granular asphalt exterior layer (much like the surface of a roofing shingle) bonded to a fibrous core. This siding is subject to damage when struck by hard objects and tends to fray and/or crack at exposed edges and corners. Eventually, sections of the surface coating may detach from the fibrous base. Replacement siding is no longer available. The panels were typically nailed to the underlying surface with 4-6 nails per panel, and can usually be removed with little additional damage to the surface below. For additional information see:
