Any help would be great! Thanks and clear skies 😊

Hi Joe, Welcome.
You will find that in the literature that the Globular clusters
inside of the LMC and SMC are generally referred
to as Star clusters.
Globular Clusters 47 Tuc (NGC104) and NGC 362 are foreground
objects.
In Simbad CDS, gives the designation for NGC2136/2137 as a binary
cluster of stars.
There is a good program called Aladin that will give you lots of
info and can link you to Simbad,CDS
Cheers
