Past tense or past participle ?
1. A man framed for hardships.

2. An error occurred for misunderstanding.

How can I understand "framed, occurred" at these sentences ( or parts of sentences) and why?

I sense that at these examples I can interpret "framed, occurred" either as PAST TENSE or as PAST PARTICIPLE simultaneously. Independently how I understand "framed, occurred" as PAST TENSE or as PAST PARTICIPLE , sense of these sentences will not change.

If you can, give me please hints how to define(distinguish) these very close forms in sentences.

P.S. I understand of course that below we have obviously examples of PAST PARTICIPLE'S interpretation.

1. It was A man framed for hardships.

2. It was An error occurred for misunderstanding.

Answer

I am not really sure what you are trying to say with your sentences and so do not really know how to answer your question. Maybe you meant to say something like:
1. A man was framed and this caused him hardship.
2. The misunderstanding was caused by an error.

Answer

1. It was A man framed for hardships.

2. It was An error occurred for misunderstanding.

Answer: In both of these two sentenses, the verb is "was", not "framed" or "occured"... 
"Framed" and "occured" here are used as "adjectives" so they are always written in the form of "past participle".
