Systems current power supply:
L08261-002
Would either of these PSU's work?:
L76557-001
942332-001

The L76557-001 looks like a better match.

My current machine has a 3 cable, 7 pin connector:

I found this image on another ebay listing:

I'm wanting to install a GPU and need more wattage and a 8 pin connector for the GPU.

Would this work?

normally a retail power supply will not fit into these provided cases and will not have proper connectors for the OEM motherboard.

include the make & model of this power supply, not just a 3rd party link.
Sorry I'm slightly confused at your request. The part numbers are the hyper link text.

It's an HP computer with an HP power supply. I'm unable to find an OEM page showing the power supplies. The cpumedic links have the most readable connector info and dimensions of the power supplies of any links I could find.

The L08261-002 part number came directly off of the power supply in my tower.
 
Even if the new PSU does come with the correct connectors for the mobo and a new GPU, any power supply with only one year's warranty is probably garbage, when compared with Tier-A high quality ATX PSU's, some of which come with at least 10 years warranty.

Slim line HP and Dell computers were not designed for use with high power GPUs, hence the small capacity PSUs. They are intended for use in general purpose office environments, not as gaming machines.

If you need a faster GPU for games or rendering, the most sensible option is to find a replacement system with enough room inside for a standard ATX PSU. This doesn't have to be a brand new system.

There are plenty of second hand systems which would make a good starting point for a more powerful system, with none of the drawbacks of small, cheap, unreliable, unknown replacement PSUs with only one year's warranty.

If that dubious looking new PSU dies and destroys your GPU, you'll wish you'd bought a better designed system with a longer warranty. Sell the old machine and buy a better system.

This PC is a dedicated CCTV system. It won't be running hard 99% of the time and only needs the horsepower of a dedicated GPU when it detects movement and needs to process that information. I plan on picking up a 1660 TI or 1080 equivalent card for the object detection.

Also the L76557-001 is a genuine HP PSU

The LXun link I followed from the original posting shows only 1 year's warranty. If this is a genuine HP power supply I'm surprised the warranty isn't much longer, plus the price of only $66 makes it of questionable quality.

Was the PC supplied as part of the dedicated CCTV system or pressed into service at a later date?

The LXun seems like junk from the reviews. I just linked to that listing cause it has a good image of the 7 pin. My bad.

I'm building out my own CCTV system using blue iris and dedicated Cisco 24 port poe+ switch i found for cheap. I paid 80$ for the tower.

I didn't realize I was going to need a dedicated GPU to do object detection effectively.
