New photometric and UV spectroscopic data for the metal-deficient red giants CD -38 deg 245 and BD -18 deg 5550 are presented and discussed in light of recently noted photometric anomalies. From the IUE spectra it is aparent that the UV excess found in BD -18 deg 5550 is not the result of a hot companion. The IUE spectra, in conjunction with other observations, point to anomalous nitrogen abundances as the source of the discrepancies between the photometric and spectroscopic abundances for these stars. CD -38 deg 245 appears to be exceptionally nitrogen-rich while BD -18 deg 5550 is anomalously nitrogen-poor with respect to stars of comparable metallicities. While BD -18 deg 5550 appears to be an exception to the rule for its metallicity, the confirmation of a similar photometric pattern for CS 22885-96 may be an indication that the nitrogen overabundance in CD -38 deg 245 is typical for giants of extreme metal-deficiency.
