A Blind Spot

Playing in a club qualifier for the Grand National Pairs (doesn't that sound so much better than "North American Open Pairs?"), this hand arose:

S: 98xx
H: K4
D: AK10xx
C: Kx
S: KJ
H: AQJ32
D: xx
C: Q10xx

Declarer Dummy
1H: 2D:
2H: 3H:
4H: Pass

2D: was game forcing unless 3D: is rebid.

How would you have bid the two hands?

T1: S:3-x-A-J
T2: S:x-K-2-x
T3: C:x-x-K-A
T4: C:x-Q-x-x
T5: C:x-D:x-H:4-x
Over to you.
