What forehand grip would you say these two use? Thanks.

The naming is problematic because there are so many different terms. I would advise going to the Arm Action sections and looking closely at both players. If you have time to do that and look at most or all of them, report back and see if you think this is accurate or close:
Nalbandian appears to have most of his heel pad on bevel 4 and his index knuckle on bevel 5. I'd call that extreme semi western.
Nadal seems even further under, maybe with part of his heel pad on 5 as well.
As close to western as there is? Maybe a notch or half notch shy of full western.
The reference to the bevels is the USPTA deal. 8 bevels counting from the top down--but Nadal of course is actually reversed, going down the other way since he's a lefty.
