Try the following;

line1 = [ (b'312171', '1995-07-01', b'Old', '13:37:00', '01:43:00', 
'04:42:00','13:16:00', b'162', '13:19:00')]
line2 = [(b'358237', '1993-05-25', b'Old', '12:22:00', 
'01:31:00','04:16:00','12:03:00', b'160', '12:13:00')]

item1A = line1[0][0]
item1B = line1[0][7]
item2A = line2[0][0]
item2B = line2[0][7]
print item1A, item1B
print item2A, item2B
