78 rpm Records of Indian Music: Bashir Quaval of Poona
Unless I miss my guess, this still from the 1936 Hindi film Miss Frontier Mail (featuring Fearless Nadia!) is of Bashir Quaval playing harmonium and singing. He is featured on some songs in the movie, and the voice certainly sounds similar to these two naat-s. See the clip here.
Since much of India’s early film industry was based in Pune, the geographical suffix makes sense.

78 rpm Records of Indian Music: Abdul Raheman Kanchwala & Sufi Quawal (of Patiala)
Some terrific quawwali singing from Abdul Raheman Kanchwala (who appears to have continued a performance career into the relative present, judging from the results of a little googling) and the anonymous Sufi Quawal (of Patiala). Both of these recordings were part of the collection purchased in Udaipur in 2000.
Abdul Raheman Kanchwala: Jawoonga Khwaaja dard-e-dil sunane ke
Abdul Raheman Kanchwala: Aa jaa o halima ki nigahen ke sitare
Sufi Quawal (of Patiala): Aa mota dilaka khatkaa
Sufi Quawal (of Patiala): Ab to mera bimahi bhi
