It doesn't look like either one of them has those parts (Monty recently released the character model of Velvet for the Battle Armor contest, and it doesn't look like there's a tail there). So, unless every Fanus we've seen so far is actually a half-Fanus, it's safe to assume that Fanus only posses one animal body part.

The only thing that makes me doubt ^ is that all the characters mention a "Fanus Heritage". Maybe the very first Fanus had two or more animal parts, but have been eradicated by, or simply inter-bred with, Humans. Just a thought.

like i said, what if the major animal parts only emerge later, i mean, young blake had brown hari and ears, with the ears being much larger than now, my idea was that the animal parts are prone to change, with faunus like blake, starting out with only ears but when they mature into adults they get the tail or something.

for example, blake could be still technically be in the "juvenile" stage for now, but when she gets a bit older, she gets a tail to symbolise her technically becoming an adult.

"but what about Sun?" i hear you ask

simple. monkeys have ears similar to humans, so there would be no need to have extra ears, instead, the tail grows out fully much faster, thats why he has a tail now, with increased mobility coming when he get older instead of anothe body part.
