Out of about 30 tomatoes these two have these issues, each is on a separate plant. Is this normal or is it a pest or disease? I’m in 9b Arizona.

The first picture looks to me like peck damage from a bird. The second picture looks like BER. Unusual at this time of year. Could be worm damage (fruit worm) partially sealed over. These are both only guesses.
If only two fruits are damaged out of 30, I would not worry about it at all. I see no sign of disease. At the end of the season like now, it’s comon to have a large percent of damaged and scarred tomatoes, sometimes well over half of them from one thing and another.
