A few thoughts...

The AC may be a bit low for both versions. Compared to other golems of their CR, they probably need about a +3 or +4 bump in natural armor.

The greater black golem seems a tad to hefty for CR 19. I'd suggest bumping it to CR 20.

sure, those ideas sound fine to me.

updating in homebrews... what's left for this guy? (BTW, this guy, the protein polymorph, and 2 more conversions gives us 10)

Indeed. Master! Master!

We'll need to change the construction guidelines for the greater to be, well, greater.

How about...

A greater black golem’s body is sculpted from 5,000 pounds of pure iron, smelted with rare tinctures and admixtures costing at least 10,000 gp, and topped with the skull of a lich. Assembling the body requires a DC 25 Craft (armorsmithing) check or a DC 25 Craft (weaponsmithing) check.

CL 20th; Craft Construct, blasphemy, deeper darkness, energy drain, fear, gate, geas/quest, limited wish, polymorph any object, slow, true seeing, caster must be at least 20th level; Price 200,000 gp; Cost 100,000 gp + 7,600 XP.

he's a-pulling your strings.

yeah, that looks good. there are a number of values to be filled in for the big guy, as well.
