B, V, and I light curves of the eclipsing binaries HV12634 in the LMV, and HV2208 in the SMC (cf. West et al., 1992), are analyzed with the aid of optimal curve-fitting techniques. Parameter derivation involves a successive approximations procedure. The results of this are combined with a standard mass:luminosity relation to explore tentative absolute parameters. The combined evidence shows some disparity with standard MS-like models. It also demonstrates some relative insensitivity of photometric analysis, in isolation, to elucidate clear facts on such possibly atypical remote hot stars. Auxiliary spectroscopic data are required to resolve remaining ambiguities.
