Hello,  

I tried to see your diagrams and ı couldn't find anything wrong with the second one. As for the first one, it is really difficult to read the elements but I will do it like this:  

butter and cheese: double noun phrases  

with butter and cheese: prepositional phrase 

sandwiches with butter and cheese: noun phrase 

tasty sandwiches with butter and cheese: noun phrase (there is an adjective phrase in the noun phrase)  

incredibly tasty sandwiches with butter and cheese: I thikn this is a noun phrase which has and adjective and an adverb phrase in it.  

are: verb phrase  

these are incredibly tasty sandwiched with butter and cheese: sentence   

Well, I hope I didn't make any mistakes because I am really really hungry. Smile
