  This is the second one of a series of four papers devoted to a first
calculation of the scalar and spinor QED four-photon amplitudes completely
off-shell. We use the worldline formalism which provides a gauge-invariant
decomposition for these amplitudes as well as compact integral representations.
It also makes it straightforward to integrate out any given photon leg in the
low-energy limit, and in the present sequel we do this with two of the four
photons. For the special case where the two unrestricted photon momenta are
equal and opposite the information on these amplitudes is also contained in the
constant-field vacuum polarisation tensors, which provides a check on our
results. Although these amplitudes are finite, for possible use as higher-loop
building blocks we evaluate all integrals in dimensional regularisation. As an
example, we use them to construct the two-loop vacuum polarisation tensors in
the low-energy approximation, rederive from those the two-loop $\beta$-function
coefficients and analyse their anatomy with respect to the gauge-invariant
decomposition. As an application to an external-field problem, we provide a
streamlined calculation of the Delbr\"uck scattering amplitudes in the
low-energy limit. All calculations are done in parallel for scalar and spinor
QED.
