What is it called in English when two nouns comes in a row as in the above examples?

Answer

They're called noun adjuncts. From that Wikipedia article...

a noun adjunct or attributive noun or noun (pre)modifier is an optional noun that modifies another noun; it is a noun functioning as a pre-modifier in a noun phrase.
For example, in the phrase "chicken soup" the noun adjunct "chicken" modifies the noun "soup".
