Yeah, that hose is definitely long for the test, which will give you lower readings, but not that low. You definitely have low compression. I'm not sure why the second plug is a bit more burnt though.

Did you hold the throttle open while doing the compression test?
Did you check the valve lash clearances?
Did you try doing a compression test?

there are many many factors that will yeild different compression numbers. because there are so many factors, if the numbers are all close together the engine can be said "healthy"
