While the first one might be Anderson, it also looks much like the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) tartan.

The RCAF tartan is based on Anderson.

right, it have a yellow stripe (in fact black thin stripe, yellow, black thin stripe), RCAF is single white stripe

I'm assuming it's Anderson or MacAndrew because of the color pattern.

in case of being a military kilt, it should have the military pleat, right?, and the one shown in pic is civilian

I'm pretty sure it's Anderson/Macandrew

Not all military tartans are box pleated, and to my knowledge the RCAF tartan isn't part of the RCAF uniform.
