In order to install these patches, what was required was the following:

I backed out the install of 105568-14. I needed to use patchrm as the
backoutpatch script returned
an error saying that the patch wasn't applied. Once I was able to get that
backed out, I reinstalled the
patch 105568-14. Once that completed successfully, the install of the 2
new patches went smoothly.
