Will this wiring work with my switch?

I have installed several KS205 single pole smart switches at my home- all super easy, no questions or problems. However, today I met my match...
I went to install the KS230 3-way kit and can't seem to figure out the wiring, and obviously don't want to guess. Pictures of the existing wiring for the switches are attached. The white & black in the wire nut in one switch is especially throwing me for a loop. Can I use the KS230 for this room, and if so how do I go about wiring it? Or, am I missing everything/something I need to use KS230?
Thanks very much for any help!!!
I would always recommend looking at getting a circuit tester for situations like this, even if you think you know what wires or what - its to easy to be caught by surprise.
I do think that you have an odd wiring setup, as a result of those two wires connected to each other - almost making it look like your light may be between your switches.
The largest issues is that it looks like neither of these boxes has a neutral wire, which is required for Kasa and Tapo switches.
The KS230v2's wiring diagram is as follows:
