We consider two 2-dimensional diagrammatic knot theories and an invariant model for each. The Rourke model for Rotwelded surface-knot theory is non-complete; that is, there exist distinct Rotwelded surface-knots with equivalent Rourke models. We provide an example of such. Also, the Eiji model for Virtual surface-knot theory is non-complete; we provide an example of this as well.
