It's common for same sex rabbits to still mount one another.
If it transpired you had a female rabbit then it would not start nesting until, at the most, a couple of days before giving birth. The fur would not be coming from her back, the flap of skin under her chin will get noticably larger and she plucks the hair from there.
I think you seriously need to consider separating the two males (you would definately need to separate them ASAP if one was pregnant) until they have both been neautered and their need to mount has subsided. One rabbit pulling the hair out from the other rabbit is bullying.
