Both show clear tonality and room in the highlights to the upper right.
I honestly can't really understand your editing strategy so I can't be of much help diagnosing where the highlights get pushed to that extreme. I don't use ColorPerfect or any of that - I scan with a positive inversion setup on my scanner to get close to correct color and tone with no blown highlights or blocked shadows, and then make color curves and contrast layers to get the color and look right, with final d&b and the like at the end.
