No I dont think so, you should look at this:
The middle of a center tap transformer is always ground. You can rectify each of the other two leads with just a diode as illustrated in my link and this will give you a full wave. Your second picture will not work because there is no ground. Perhaps you do not understand how a center tap transformer works and should look it up.

Yes it will work though I'm not sure why you would want to.
If you have separate transformers, why are you showing a schematic with just one transformer?I have a 24V transformer and two 12V transformers. I need some 24V current and as much 12V current as possible.
I need a common ground. If I connect the grounds, is it still going to work? I'm a bit paranoid, because a cap just blew up in my face the day before yesterday, though I don't think the circuit was exactly like this.
How can someone draw bridge rectifier circuits so wrong and badly so as to completely confuse?.
The two bridge rectifiers on the 24 V transformer combine to give you 24 V on the 12V line.
You only want one bridge rectifier per transformer winding, you can't use two to give different voltages from the center tap.
Some of the voltages will not be the values you expect.What kinds of problems could it cause?
