We analyse the dynamical state of the galaxy clusters Abell 76 and Abell 1307 from the optical point of view, presenting a coherent scenario that responds to the X-ray emissions observed in these structures. Our study is based on 231 and 164 spectroscopic redshifts, for the clusters A76 and A1307, respectively, obtained mostly with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, and complemented with others collected from the SDSS DR16 spectroscopic database and the literature. We find that A76 and A1307 are two galaxy clusters at z = 0.0390 and 0.0815, respectively, with a velocity dispersion of 650 ± 56 km s‑1 and 863 ± 85 km s‑1, and they show velocity distributions following, in practice, Gaussian profiles. From our dynamical analysis, X-ray studies and SZ-Planck emission, we obtain a mean total mass M500 = 1.7 ± 0.6 ṡ 1014 M⊙ and 3.5 ± 1.3 ṡ 1014 M⊙ for A76 and A1307, respectively. Using the SDSS DR16 photometric database, we find that the spatial distribution of likely cluster members in the case of A76 is very anisotropic, while A1307 shows a compact distribution of galaxies, but it is double peaked and elongated in the south-north direction. Using XMM-Newton X-ray data, we compared the surface brightness maps with galaxy distributions and noticed that both distributions are correlated. We reconstructed the total mass profile and velocity anisotropy of both clusters by analysing the full projected phase space, through the MG-MAMPOSSt code. Our study reveals a slight indication of radial orbits for A76, while A1307 seems to prefer more isotropic orbits in the whole cluster range. In summary, A76 represents a typical young cluster, in an early stage of formation, with a very low X-ray surface brightness but a high temperature showing a very anisotropic galaxy distribution. A1307 is however more consolidated and massive showing in-homogeneous galaxy distribution and an asymmetric X-ray emission, which suggest a scenario characterised by recent minor mergers.
