Looks like Bougaincactiea from here...
But seriously, I thinks it's just O. ficus indica, no?

The one with the Bougy- yes. But the other reminds me of those "Roadkill" types. Its not O.f.indica..not a pad on it is wide.

There is an O ficus-indica that has more elongated narrow pads, but I am not sure the fruits on that one would be right for that. Hard to say from the distance the pic was taken at.
It is what it is!

Re: Cacti with no name,and Nopales and Bougy.
Geoff would know better,but a photo he took one that has a tall tree like trunk on Dave Garden resembles this. It was the "Roadkill" type. I have seen the exact same Consolea species in Oakland- shiny narrow pads.
This could be related...or smaller leafed Opuntia. Its unusual to be trunking like that too.
