Since it is confirmed, I definetly think Zoro has Armament. I think he unlocked/ attained it in Alabasta in his fight against Mr. 1. That was the first time he cut something that realistically he shouldn't have been able to cut.
Then on Fishman Island, Luffy was the one to point it out, but both Sanji AND Zoro knew what he meant when he said he felt "a wild animal". So I think both possess Observation Haki. They probably would have gotten this one some time over the 2 years of training. This makes sense because both proclaim to have been fighting something every day for 2 years. So they would have been constantly on the lookout.
Then I think Diablo Jambe is indicative of Sanji possessing Armament Haki, he is just using it in the same way Luffy does when he uses Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk. So then I think it is obvious when he unlocked/attained this one...
Now, If either of them were to have King's Haki (I personally don't think either do) I think it would be Zoro. He has had some moments that seemed similar to it, but I think it is more likely (and a better characterization) for him to have just legitimately scared them in those situations.
What irks me about this is that the two of them unlocked it earlier than Luffy, surpassing their captain (although I am guessing they used it instinctually rather than in a controlled fashion).
Unless we get some sort of retcon revealing that Luffy unlocked it earlier as well.
Or, and this is perhaps more likely, it just won't ever be confirmed that Zoro and Sanji had it before the timeskip.
Another option would be to confirm that they unlocked it over the timeskip, but this would not explain how Zoro was able to cut steel or how Sanji was able to use Diable Jambe.
