The first shows processors 0 to 3, representing two physical processors with two cores each.
The second shows one physical processor with two cores.
How many physical processors did you think each has? If the second has two physical, then one is disabled. Check the BIOS settings.
If I'm reading it correctly, both have hyper threading capable hardware but both have hyper threading disabled by the BIOS.

Now I got another IBM server which shows processor 0 to 7 and cpu core '4'. Does is mean quad core?

That is quad core. I don't think you gave enough info to distinguish quad core doubled by HT, vs. two physical processors quad core.

Also, in dual core processors with HT enable should siblings be showing a value '4' instead of '2'?

Right. If HT is enabled the number of siblings will be double the number of cores.
